Hi all, I have Hutchison, trading as "3", my O/S is 8,04, as dongle software is written for windows, any step-by-step help to try and get it to run on Ubuntu 8.04 would be appreciated.......
Thanks all, Michael

What model dongle is it? If it's a Huewai it'll either work or you have
to use the likes of usb_modeswitch to get the dongle into the right mode to show
the 
usb serial port. It should have the model number printed on the back.
