I've tried to connect using a nokia phone with the usb cable. First of
all I loaded ppp_async and told pppconfig the connection parameters
(my connection device was /dev/usb/acm/0). I got the connection
working, but as soon as I tried to ping the gateway the system hangs
up completely. Now I'm trying to load a 2.6 kernel to see if I have
more luck
