Re: [tlug] UQ WiMAX, other ubiquitous internet access, and Linux laptops



Mark, Ai, Edward,

Thanks for your comments.

Okay, so reliable reports say that EMobile works. Thanks for that great "how to" on your blog, Mark. So that might be the route I go.

However, I was reading today about the HT-03A, which I am eagerly awaiting:
http://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/product/foma/pro/ht03a/

I noticed it comes with the FOMA WiFi access, and it claims on the FOMA information page (under "Point 3"), that you can connect it to your computer and use it essentially as a WiFi device:

Of course, easier said than done. I'm going to hope that since this is an Android based phone, there will be some way to get it talking to a Linux machine and utilizing this function. However, I'm not so naive as to think this is guaranteed to work.

So right now I think I'm going to wait until I have the HT-03A in my hands, since I'm going to get it anyway, and see if that can work as a WiFi "modem". If not, then EMobile will be my backup option.
