USBNET/Telnet access from linux works

[ajross]

Recently, support for the Belcarra "USBNET" software has been added to
the kernel development tree. As of last week, the most recent Fedora
Core 4 Test kernels support it out of the box. You can now plug a
E680/A780 into a bare/unconfigured FC4 system and do:

echo "AT+MODE=99" > /dev/ttyACM0
ifconfig usb0 192.168.1.1
telnet 192.168.1.2

This seems to work great for telnet and smbclient access. I am not
able to mount the samba-exported drives as filesystems, though (the
mount just hangs). Nor am I able to mount the host system on the
phone via NFS (ditto). So there is still some work to do, but
out-of-the-box access via linux is no longer a problem, as long as you
are willing to install a bleeding-edge distribution.
