I meant to add: Most 3G/4G dongles come with software, but at least some
of them say 'iOS and Windows only', i.e. no Linux driver supplied, but
there are, or were, OSS drivers/FTP equivalent programs available for
Linux: I remember trying to use one back in 2005 - the software and
dongle seemed to work OK and connect to the phone network, but where I
was, out in the sticks, the connection was unuseably slow.
