Sakis3G: 0.1.0 Released
Version 0.1.0 of Sakis3G script is out. Script now waits for network logon after supplying PIN number, before is proceeds with internet connection. This should eliminate problems with modems that need more time. Adds progress indication if xosd (osd_cat) is installed and support for several German and Austrian operators. Fixes KDE integration issues and a driver reload problem.
Read change log.
Sakis3G: 0.0.9 Released
Version 0.0.9 is now released fixing bugs, issues with non-Debian distributions and introducing experimental support for Huawei E220 family of USB modems. Establish a 3G/GSM connection with your operator within 20 seconds, no installation/compilation required, just download and execute.

Sakis3G: All-in-one script
My 1st trick to share with readers: Sakis3G. A shell script that can make your 3G connection work without setting up anything. It touches nothing on your system, while giving you a fully functional connection. It even handles PIN unlocking your SIM if required. Forget setting up wvdial, pppd, udev, hal, usb_modeswitch. No installation required. Although being a shell script, it also provides graphical interface for connecting. Download and execute.
Official page of script is here.
