Are conflating several of my projects.

A little over a year ago I was investigating how to replace my 
dialup connection which was being terminated by my then ISP. My 
current ISP is now T-Mobile as I purchase one of their Z915's 
described as "4G LTE Hotspot". I've disabled the "WiFi Hotspot" 
feature and use it essentially as a modem.

This thread is a side issue to a project about configuring Debian 
Jessie "My Way". To support the multiple re-installations of 
Debian I have been creating preseed.cfg and various scripts on my 
WinXP machine. Those files would be written to a flash drive 
which would then be used on the next iteration of my Debian 
install. I got tired of sneakernet and decided to connect the two 
laptops with 36" of Cat6 cable.
