I followed all the steps but still getting the same error message:

/etc/ppp/peers/verizon: unrecognized option ‘ttyUSB0″.

Please can some 1 give me a solution?

I am looking to buy this usb card as inside it is a mini pci card and I have a compact pc board that only has mini pci interface running debian linux 2.6.22. Does anyone know if the setup process is the same if it is connected in this way.

Cheers

Hello, thanks for the code, runs great but still can’t connect. If my hardwire is in place it will not overwrite the default GW, with the hardwire out it doesn’t complain about the default GW but I can never get out to the internet. Any ideas?

Thanks

I was wondering if you have compared the upload and download speeds in Linux vs. windows for this device. The software for Windows, “VZAccess Manager” uses compression at the source and mostly at Verizon’s switch.

What about with Linux ?

Same for me. Got rid of the -v in verizon, replaced the apostrophes from the paste and it rocks. It’s so cool.

I just hooked up a linksys router to use for other reasons then the internet. It seems that it is taking priority over my Verizon internet and will no longer let me connect unless I reboot with the ethernet cord to the router unplugged. Does anyone have any ideas so I can use both?

What about using a 2nd computer and connecting through the router and getting online through the 1st computer’s Verizon internet?

Tested and working on Edgy, Feisty, and Hardy Alpha.

Although, Hardy has a problem with disconnecting after about 2 hours on it. I have it starting at boot. Trying to find a fix for this and when I do I will post.

Finally a way that works. I kept running into other sites that had me run a command that was supposed to detect the modem and tell me something about it. I never got past that 1st piece of instruction. This way works great. I am using Ubuntu 7.10. -J
