It was evening, there was nothing. I walked around the city (Petersburg, if that), visited several of the Megafon, Beeline and MTS central offices. Tortured employees about modems. More precisely, about support in Snow Leopard and Ubuntu 10.04. The range of answers is wide. Either “we don’t know” or “only works in Windows, there are problems with win7”.
And in fact:
Megaphone: we don’t read our site, and we don’t even try to open it in order to respond to the client. Microsoft Windows® 2000 SP4, Windows® 2000 SP2, Windows® XP, Windows® Vista, Mac OS® X 10.4 or higher ')
Beeline: we do not read our site, and we are not even trying to open it in order to respond to the client. In the worst case for the modems indicated: OS Windows XP, Vista, Win 7, Mac
MTS: I did not find the modem on the site right away, but judging by the fact that this is the same Huawei - in principle, the same operating systems are supported. Moreover, in one of the offices they asked me "What is Linux and Snow Leopard?"
It seems that Internet users are not particularly needed by mobile operators ...
