Yep. If the new version of NetworkManager dosn't do it for you, auto detection, get a program called "Gnome PPP". Search it on the net (If you somehow can!) for Gnome PPP.deb. I used to use the Huwai E220 on Hardy with Gnome PPP, now the new NetworkManager works with it. You'll have to know all the settings, like which provider (if any) and username & password.

Hello Fikel,
thank you very much for your help.Network Manager does indeed do it automatically. Would you have any idea about how I could get my miro back having just lost after installing Intrepid Ibex?

thanks again
John
