Yep, as follows: </PRE> opm@rob2:~$ ls -l /dev/ttyUSB? crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 0 2009-08-20 09:43 /dev/ttyUSB0 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 1 2009-08-20 09:43 /dev/ttyUSB1 opm@rob2:~$ The other thing I've just noticed after testing the device on a work colleague's laptop (which it worked straight away), is that, browsing the device in XP, it seems to have nothing more on it then this Voadfone Connect .exe file, and once launched it's absolutely obsessed in taking you to the Vodafone Prepaid site at every opportunity. I'm starting to 'smell a rat' from Vodafone here, or is that an unreasonable assumption? Yeah, I think it's nearly Ebay time for this little modem.  <IMG SRC="cid:1250726493.3813.13.camel@opm3nt" ALIGN="middle" ALT=":-)" BORDER="0"> No, seriously, thanks for everyone's input on this, very much appreciated.
