The vodafone 3G card isn't windows-only.  It's a little odd but not very
hard to get working under Linux.  It's a pcmcia card that presents
itself as a USB serial interface.  You need to load the usbserial module
with a magic number to make it recognise the serial device but after
that it's like configuring a standard modem.  Quite nostalgic, really.

I have it working under Linux/PPC on a powerbook, so it can't be
anything special.
