I'm trying to connect my brand new MacBook OS 10.5.2 to the internet through an Alltel cellular wireless modem. Model: Huawei EC228. I have activated the modem successfully through the supplied "Quicklink Mobile" software and I have signal bars, but I can't get it to connect. I get the following message (in Quicklink software): "Status: Error- Connection failed"

I have called Alltel tech support and they are USELESS for Mac. I have found one forum with info, but I still couldn't get it to work on my MacBook after trying their recommended fix - http://www.evdoforums.com/thread9708.html

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
