Novatel U727 on Bell Mobility

I'm trying to get my Novatel U727 (aka USB727) working in Ubuntu (kernel 2.6.28-11) on Bell Mobility network in Canada.
I've been able to get it to show up when I lsusb, but I'm at a loss how to get it to connect to the 3G network and how to control (?) it.
I have it working under Windows (Vista Home - on my laptop & XP Home on my AA1).
Has anyone got it running on Bell Mobility?
I'm new to linux so patience & any help would be appreciated,
Vic

 

Anybody?

 

WoooHooo

I was able to connect using Kppp and the Sprint setup instructions and I'm sending this from my AA1 under Ubuntu!

Use the Number #777 , and leave the p/w and u/n blank (thanks to bb147 on HowardForums for that).

You will need to change one thing in the configuration - ooops, I need to disconnect to get the details - back in a second.

I'm back ...

You'll need to change the Accounts/Edit/Dial/Authentication from "PAP/CHAP" to Script-Based this avoids the no p/w & u/n from causing an error.

From Speedtest.net this is the download/upload/latency I got:

dl - 2.3 Mbs
ul - 0.23 Mbs
ping - 269 ms

By the way, I'm 40km from the nearest town and either 10km or 40km from the nearest tower in the middle of the Rockies with lots of trees!!!
