I had to do this with a newer EVDO usb card from verizon. Just do some searching on the internet.

Alternatively you can just configure pptp / if scripts and connect via the command line using ifup. --John -- John Priddy Solutions Architect Red Hat -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
