Installed the SXC-1080 CDMA 1x USB MODEM - Pretty cool and easy wireless internet from Tata . The UIM/SIM card needs to be inserted into the USB device and then an installer needs to be run on Windows XP professional on my laptop (Dell Dimension D630) and on Linux - Ubuntu 7.04, the Feisty Fawn on my desktop the HP Pavilion that I have it's as simple as wvdialconf and wvdial. Speeds are decent I think about 10-20 Kbps as of now; need to look for some mechanism to jack that up as the claimed speed is upto 153 kbps.
In my mind is a strange attractor!
