Steps
The following steps are needed to have USB cellular modem working with XO:
(Tested with Franklin CDU-680DOrA Mobile Broadband USB Modem)
1. Insert the modem into an USB slot on XO. The device will be shown as a removable storage on XO.
2. Here [1] you will find the necessary components that include:
- Packages
1. Wvdial : wvdial-1.54.0-5.2.2.1.i386.rpm 2. PPP: ppp-2.4.4-2.i386.rpm 3. Libwvstreams: libwvstreams-4.2.2-3.fc7.i386.rpm
[2] and [3] are the dependencies for installing [1].
- Files
1. connect 2. itfchg 3. cdu680config 4. execute.sh 5. run.sh
These are needed for installing the drivers for this particular modem.
3. Run the run.sh script so that the device is recognized as a modem.
4. You can test that ppp0 is working fine by writing route -n command on the Linux console.
5. If it is there, you can start using Internet on XO using GPRS Modem!

- Thanks to Yanni for his valuable inputs during the development.
Work in progress here
Possible Work is to develop a generic way of interfacing any modem with XO.
