The modem

I have made a minicom-runscript script to set up internet using the modem: ac100modem

just apt-get install minicom, configure as "minicom -s". After that you can run ac100modem as root to get internet access.

You can then type Control-A Q to terminate minicom while staying online.

This is a very light-weight way of managing the network. You can even kill wpa_supplicant. And dhclient (I get a 24 hour lease).

What works

• LXDE for a light-weight desktop environment
• gv for PDFs
• wpa_gui for network settings.

What does not work

• cryptmount does not work. That is why full-disk-encryption is not possible. I use aespipe for a few files I need to encrypt.
• WICD freezes the AC100. That is why I use wpa_gui to hand the network.
• xpdf crashes. That is why I use gv to read pdf-files
