And you should be away.
+!! How to configure a Woosh modem using the USB cable under Linux
+For this to work you almost certainly need a recent 2.6 kernel with ipw either available as a module or compiled into the kernel. This works out of the box with Ubuntu Hoary, just plug it in and you will see in dmesg the ipw driver loaded. It'll allocate you a usb tty:
+<verbatim>
+Jun 16 10:34:49 localhost kernel: ohci_hcd 0000:00:02.1: wakeup
+Jun 16 10:34:49 localhost kernel: usb 2-3: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 5
+Jun 16 10:34:50 localhost kernel: usb 2-3: configuration #1 chosen from 2 choices
+Jun 16 10:34:50 localhost kernel: ipwtty 2-3:1.0: IPWireless converter converter detected
+Jun 16 10:34:50 localhost kernel: usb 2-3: IPWireless converter converter now attached to ttyUSB0
+</verbatim>
+
+Create a ppp peer for woosh, by creating the file /etc/ppp/peers/woosh:
+
+<verbatim>
+noipdefault
+/dev/ttyUSB0
+115200
+defaultroute
+usepeerdns
+lcp-echo-interval 60
+lcp-echo-failure 3
+connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/woosh"
+noauth
+persist
+mtu 1400
+user "username@woosh.co.nz"
+maxfail 0
+deflate 15
+</verbatim>
+
+Create the chat script /etc/chatscripts/woosh:
+<verbatim>
+TIMEOUT 30
+ABORT "NO CARRIER"
+ABORT "BUSY"
+ECHO ON
+SAY "Dialling w00sh...\n"
+"" \rAT
+"OK-+++\c-OK" ATH0
+OK ATZ
+OK AT+CGDCONT=1,"PPP","woosh.co.nz","username@woosh.co.nz,foobar",0,0
+OK ATD*99#
+SAY "Waiting up to 30 seconds for connection ... "
+CONNECT ""
+SAY "Connected..."
+</verbatim>
+
+Note the double handling of the username/password, both in the chat script and in chap. This is almost certainly unnescessary but seems to simulate the Windows ipw software configuring the modem. You can probably get away with putting garbage in the chat script.
+
+Make an entry to chap-secrets as above with your username and pass.
+<verbatim>
+username@woosh.co.nz * pass *
+</verbatim>
+Then use pon to initiate the connection
+<verbatim>
+pon woosh
+</verbatim>
