We have some vehicles on the road all around the world. They run OpenSUSE 10.0. Not all the computer systems have free PCI slots. But they do have USB. Does anyone have any experience with a USB-based GPRS modem that would allow us to log in to these systems via the GSM/GPRS network? I have seen these for Windows (in adverts for telecoms - so no real details on the actual hardware is provided). Any experience / pointers are welcome.
My Samsung D600 phone appears as a modem when I plug it in. It also charges from the USB connection. I believe most GSM phones with USB cables work, so a cheap phone may be an option. Also IIRC, you can buy USB <-> PC-Card adaptors so that may give you further options.
