Very very little. If you run netsetup and answer P for ppp, it will put it right on the air and in fact also make it a router so that other devices may also share the internet connection with it, if you wish.

<-- Hi Jim; Interesting or very timely stuff! - Jon (VA3RQ) and I have been discussing the Sprint U727 USB wireless 'fob' recently since BELL Canada has just recently started to support this up here in the great white north. It's actually marketed here as the Novatel U727.
We are going to acquire a couple of units (from different providers) for some site trials. Could you please let us know what's required to set these up under the ACID environment (e.g., PPPoE client, etc.)? If you can also share any experiences in terms of bandwidth that would be very helpful as well.
Many thanks!
Ramesh.
