The one I am looking at is a USB modem.

By the way, this e-mail is being sent to you from an OS/2 system over and external (ethernet attached) 3G internet connection using the Virgin Broadband 3G Home service which uses a re-badged Option GlobeSurfer II 7.2 modem. Option have both external ethernet attached and usb attached 3G data modems.

See

Interesting since I was just given an opportunity to try an Option
GlobeSurfer iCON 7.2 USB modem.  I visited the two links to the
GlobeSurfer products hoping to find information as how to use it under
OS/2, or, more likely, Linux.  No luck, so far.

Can you tell us how you connect with your GlobeSurfer modem?  Do you
use InJoy?


  
      

The Globesurfer (and the VirginBroadband labeled version here in Australia) connects to your PC via Ethernet - either cabled or wireless. It is OS agnostic.

Install process:

1. unpack unit from box.

2. plug unit into power socket

3. plug normal (POTS) telephone into telephone (RJ11) socket on unit.

4. plug supplied ethernet cable from unit to your PC (or LAN switch if you have multiple PCs).

5. Access unit via web interface and configure WiFi security (it comes open and active, so anyone can use it).

6. Restart PC (s) so that they pick up a DHCP address, default route and DNS address from the unit.

Start using internet.

This assumes you are in a 3G phone coverage  area with your supplier of course.

Cheers/2

Ed.
