Subject: [Hampshire] Acer Aspire One and Vodafone PayG modems?

Hi,

Anybody have any experience with using a Vodafone PayG 3G USB dongle with
an Aspire One with the default install (Linpus?)

My sister has an Aspire One which she bought more or less at my suggestion
and she has on the whole been very happy with it, but now she is asking me
about mobile broadband.

My general recommendation on mobile broadband for low users is the
Vodafone PayG offering because your bandwidth doesn't expire after a month,
but I've no idea how well it will work with the Aspire One, has anyone
tried it?

I know I could probably install something else on the Aspire One and get
it working fine, but my sister has had the machine a while and is used to
it, I doubt she would be impressed if I told her I wanted to reinstall
something different, even if I assured her it would be better...
