Early ADSL modems (such as the green Alcatel flat fish shaped one, I still have it) required you to set up a ppp connection on top of the ATM based link they provided. Today's ADSL modems provide a network interface directly and don't need require the user's system to use ppp. I see no reason why a wireless broadband modem couldn't do the same, and it it looks as if this one does - at least the fact that it seems to provide the 'usb0' interface (with Link encap: Ethernet) seems to suggest this. But no-one seems to known how to use it. Ciao, -- FA
