Thank you very much! > Mobile Broadband services that do not check username and password are quite common - they rely on authentication via the SIM card instead. I have not tried to do this with Gnome but one thing I have done with other OSs is to put in a dummy username and dummy password. Something as simple as user, and pass, works with some providers I have used. Perhaps if you enter a dummy value, the connect button will activate? Ron
