anyone can follow these instruction and probably get online with verizon wireless wan card. but man this is rediculous. in windows, all you have to do is click connect or disconnect!
now why didn't the guy who figured all this out on his own, go ahead and write a graphical program to mimic verizon's vzaccess manager?
I guess Linux users are expected to run scripts and dig and grep to be able to use their system or develope their own software. Get real, you want people to use this thing you got to do a little work.
duh, i figured it out, but i can't write program for shit so you have to run a bash shell script to use my info. this is so typical of the linux community.
i don't really blame verizon for not wanting linux users to use their service. most of them are running open mail servers (full blown sendmail in some cases), ftp servers, and web servers! why the hell would anyone want to run a mail server from home anyway? so you cheat the system and not have to pay for hosting? get real, all this free software linux bull is just that. a hacked OS, full of small programs (mostly full of bugs) and no central authority and no one to take responsiblity if it doesn't work as advertised. so you have to hammer out the bugs yourself.
