I'm curious which SE Asian countries use CDMA? All the ones I'm aware of
use GSM.

Hate using wikipedia but the link below gives idea...

I was aware of South Korea and US, but some of the others listed are a
surprise to me...

But none of the countries listed there are in SE Asia! :)

Dave, I have a CDMA USB modem working on my Thinkpad with openSUSE
10.2 In Indonesia there are some providers with CDMA but most of
them offer GSM.

Aha! Found one, thanks Constant. I knew there was GSM in Indonesia but
didn't realize there were alternatives.


And the best part, on the box of this CDMA modem it states, O/S Supported :
Windows 2000, XP, Vista & Linux Suse 10.0

Manufactured by Sungil Telecom





Can you try, as root, hwinfo --usb and post the info.
