It was plug and play, the link I sent said you had to create the ttyUSB0
  but when I went to create it, it was already there. I then opened up
Kppp and did the setup just like the doc said. The cool thing about that
doc is at the very bottom there was a guy that sent some more info on
using it from ACS Alaska. That little bit of info helped out
tremendously. It was really quite simple to set up and I had it working
in 5 minutes, I was completely amazed.

I think you can rent the card from ACS and not have to buy it.
