In June 2004, Woosh were replaced for the 3 regions it had won the
tender for in the Project Probe broadband initiative when it became
obvious that they would be unable to fulfill the contract.

+----
+!! How to configure a Woosh USB Modem under Linux
+
+Use the ethernet connection, I don't know of a way to make the USB connection work. These modems speak PPPoE. The following instructions are for Debian Woody.
+
+apt-get install pppoe
+
+Edit /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider, make sure you have the following lines
+<verbatim>
+ user "foo@woosh.co.nz"
+ # if you're using an interface other than eth0 substitute it below
+ pty "/usr/sbin/pppoe -I eth0 -T 80 -m 1452"
+ noipdefault
+ # Comment out if you already have the correct default route installed
+ defaultroute
+ hide-password
+ lcp-echo-interval 60
+ lcp-echo-failure 3
+ # Override any connect script that may have been set in /etc/ppp/options.
+ connect /bin/true
+ noauth
+ persist
+ demand
+ mtu 1492
+</verbatim>
+
+In /etc/ppp/chap-secrets you need a line like
+<verbatim>
+"foo@woosh.co.nz" * "foopassword"
+</verbatim>
+
+Then run
+<verbatim>
+ pon dsl-provider
+</verbatim>
+
+And you should be away.
