Right now I'm looking on external modems from WaveCom, which are
supported by gnokii and have a external power source.<br>

In well over a year of using it, I have never had my Hauwei stick
get stuck. YMMV. You can via a command unload the dongle module
and reload it, which restarts the modem.<br>
<br>
Since it is USB, you can connect it to a powered hub, and turn
power on and off by unplugging or switching the hub.<br>
<br>
I don't know what the price of the WaveCom is, and your budget,
but someone was selling a used, with a guarentee that it works and
an external antenna E169 for $30. I almost bought it myself it was
such a good deal. :-)<br>
(I have more USB modem sticks than I currently need.)<br>
