Short-Term Solution for 3G Networks in Linux: umtsmon

Overview When not at home and in need of Internet access, one can search for an open Wifi access point. But if there is none available, one will have to set up a connection through a mobile network - GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA, or WCDMA networks. For laptops, there are special PCMCIA cards that can do that; most mid- or high-end mobile phones can do this through USB or Bluetooth as well. To manage such a connection, one needs special software - it works differently from a regular phone dial-up, Wifi, or Ethernet connection. umtsmon was created to address this need. The author wanted to have a simple tool that works for all current Linux distributions.
