Just from my experience, I'd go from the "easiest" to the "hardest" to
troubleshoot, so: USB -> wifi ->GPRS. Get the "easy" one
to work, then you can be assured it's not a configuration or other issue
with the more difficult ones.

I think it turned out (see Dirk's mail) that the default settings in SHR are

Glad to hear that! :)

I think the biggest helpful piece of info was that you were trying to use
ssh x-forwarding. Other things that would assist are version #'s of the
various software pieces (although they didn't play a factor in this case).

One thing, which you've already done, is to explain what the underlying
issue and solution was. This way, people who are looking through the
archives can see what worked for you.

Thanks,
Gerald
