Vick,
My Mobile Broadband tab for the LaptopConnect config in NM has in the Basic
Section Number (*99#), Username (blank), Password (blank). In the Advanced
area, APN (with a change button), Network ID (which is blank), and Type
(which I have as Any), an Allow Roaming checkbox (checked) and  PIN (blank)

One other thing. In the dropdown from the top bar, I have a greyed out
option for Mobile Broadband and below it, it says Not Registered. Does that
just mean it is not connected?

Finally, I just tried it in Winbloze and it connected right away, so the
hardware seems to be working any way. So if I just wait a bit it will try
to connect by itself?

Rob
