Hi Adam

There was a discussion about this on the list a month or so ago - worth
looking in the archives.  My settings for the older K3565-2 are

Number *99#
Username <blank>
Password <blank>
APN: pp.internet
Network ID <blank>
Type: Any
PIN: <blank>

You can give those a try, but I think in the discussion the newer dongle has
a different APN that was successful.
