ASUS EEE GPRS connection - simple mode

How to configure a GPRS connection on your Asus EEE. Tried with various Motorola V360 phones connected with an USB cable in data mode.
A quicker and simpler way to achieve the same result as the previous post.
Just create a standard dial-up connection and try it. If it doesn't work,install wvdial.

sudo apt-get install wvdial

Then run wvdialconf and wvdial. They'll configure and try to run you connection. If the second one fails after getting the carrier, start the connection from the network settings and it will work.

Ubuntu

Last week I switched to Ubuntu, which is very simply wonderful. Installation is very easy and the GUI is exemplar. Furthermore its pre-installed (with version 7.10) compiz desktop enhancer gives it functions that allow it to dwarf Mac OS X.
The integrated NTFS support and Grub allow easy multi-booth setup (an ext2/ext3 driver for windows is very easy to find and is great).
In the past week I already persuaded two guys to pass to it (and they both liked it very much, altough one of them had problems caused by his lack of an internet connection) and I'm showing it to all my friends.
I particularly like the multi-workspace feature. This evening I found out a lot of keyboard shortcuts that enable nice tricks in compiz. You can find the keyboard shortcuts here. Not listed in the linked article are Super+alt+tab and ctrl+alt+tab, which both enable window flicking between windows from all the workspaces.
