[ubuntu-in] Open 3G/CDMA USB Dongles for Linux

[Shubhrajyoti Mohapatra]

Hello Narendra,

 I am using a BEETEL ZTE MF631 HSUPA 3G data card . It works well with every
3G operators and also in 2G networks. I am using BSNL GPRS @99 -2GB per
month.Speed is fine so you can go for it. I am using ubuntu 10.10. The
software given with the datacard only works with windows ans MacOS but by
creating a new connection in ubuntu you still can use it.
*Regards,*
*Apu*
