I'm lost… Thanks a bunch, I'd really appreciate the reply. The constant hang-ups of the connection are driving me mad. Hi George or anyone else who’s in the know:

My problem is im using a borrowed Dongle and i dont have the phone number to top it up and as we dont have the proper o2 connection manager i cant find the number via software, Any ideas?

Once that's done, pretty much follow George's directions: it's a little erratic in the way that it works, but it does work every time - so far at least! I also left the APN field empty with no apparent side effects. iPhone tethering had also occurred to me as an iPhone user - guess it's just another way that service providers use to get more cash from the end user - at least my son got a laptop from the deal :) I found that the easiest way to get the thing working under Snow Leopard was to insert the dongle and copy (just drag ‘n drop) the driver files into the applications folder and run the application script from there: this was the only way that I could get an install to work on Snow Leopard (incidentally, the install process works fine on earlier builds of OS X).
