Hi,

Just a quick update on this.

I finally succumbed to temptation and bought one of these a week or two
ago, mainly for use with an XP laptop, but now having plugged it into the
Eee 701 it seems to work fine.

I plugged it in and used the GUI network connection icon to create a new
network connection, selecting the appropriate options from the menus and
was up and running in 5 minutes.

The XP software provided with the device gives you info on signal type and
strength and lets you send and receive SMS messages from the device which
I've not found a way to do in Linux yet but as a wireless modem it just
works, at least on the Eee.
