[nzlug] Telstra/linux

[Mathew Carley]

See if Telstra can change you up to an SB5100E - it has an ethernet 
port. Welho (Finland) supplies very similar modems. :)

USB modems are generally a pain (Really, I've just been against USB 
modems ever since they started appearing - they might be better now, but 
I wouldn't buy one).
