12.04LTS and the Telstra 4G mobile wireless modem (Geoffrey)

[Ian George]

Hello Geoffery,

If it is any help, I connect my Telstra 3G ultimate sierra wireless 
modem successfully in 12.04LTS by using the APN of 'telstra.bigpond' 
[without quotations] . The information re. APN and connecting the modem 
I found on ubuntuforums.org.

I have also taken a screen shot of the connection manager showing the 
settings which I could email to you later if that helps.

Ian George..
