I am new to this OS. My
question is how to use connect to the Internet with a cell phone. I can do
this with Windows XP, Susteen's Datapilot provided USB cable and Samsung Hue
with Alltel, no problem. When I try it with Ubuntu 9.10, I can connect for 8-9
seconds then the connection is dropped. I can't load any pages in the time I
have connected. I use the "network connections" in Ubuntu, mobile broadband,
have it dial "#777, with my phone number id as the user name, e. g. if my phone
number is 989-555-1212, I enter 9895551212@... for the user name. I
leave password blank. I have tired unchecking various boxes, but nothing seems
to do any better than the momentary connection. Any ideas?
