Three broadband on EEEPC

I too have Three mobile broadband using an E220 modem. On the EEEPC, the default APN for Three is three.co.uk, which works well enough. But if you put the E220 into a windows machine, the default APN is 3internet.

I decided to see if 3internet had any advantage as an APN for the EEEPC, so I made a copy of the default Three connection on the EEEPC, and in the copy changed the APN from three.co.uk to 3internet. [To do this you go to /etc/opt/xandros/xandrosncs/services. There are (probably) several files of the kind 'dialupx', where x is a number. Find the one corresponding to the copy of the Three connection - it'll be the one with the highest number if you haven't created any new connections since copying the Three connection. I opened it with Nano and changed the APN (which is in the last line) to 3internet.]

The result has been erratic. It connects, but often I cannot actually do anything with the connection. Some times FirstClass works, but not Firefox. Once I could get both to work, but more often neither works. Most odd.
