Sorry, I couldn't help myself, I've just had a play in minicom (in a
non-coverage area):

Press CTRL-A Z for help on special keys

So I got no pizza, but this unit has an ESN - and therefore potentially
would not require to manually authenticate.

Perhaps this thing will work with Linux if one could find the number it
needs to dial and then route to ppp as per any other modem?

As we can't get the thing to install on a Windows machine yet I have not
seen what the install program asks, so I'm merely speculating at this
stage.

Any thoughts?
