I remember somewhere I have seen a USB to Ethernet adapter, it is converting USB modem into ethernet, it comes with high price though, 200 USD, probably you can search as alternative.janeks wrote:Yes the Tp-link device seems to be very affordable and available in my country too. But in my case I would not like to buy it because for such needs I already have LynkSys WRT54G3G, that I am more using outside home/office, f.ex. coutry side.
The feature that I liked inTp-link - 3G/WAN failover capability. That remainded me to check my Linksys router capabilities and does it have new firmware (as I have it already couple of years). I think it could be configured in the similar way. As I checked firmware I found that it has also SMS capability - f.ex. send some network commands trough SMS (wake on lan, reboot etc.). These I did not observed before.
But if we return to the topic, than I would definitely try to tinker around some dialer program to make Bubba work when I had some time. But my knowledge limit me to a kind of "switch to mobile network" script. But it would be the nice feature of Bubba, that it would have a kind of inbuild script with easy web configuration utility, that would allow such feature like 3G/WAN failover capability.
Yeah, bubba should by default have software that can detect usb modem, so can auto detect and connect
