I think there was an ALE discussion this week or last week about how the
mobile USB modems weren't linux friendly. THe only thing that occurs to
me to try is running a windows virtual machine in your hypervisor of
choice, configuring the hypervisor to give the windows VM direct access
to the USB modem, and doing some iptables magic to redirect your network
connection through the VM.
