Before I run all the edits again, do you think it might be due to the fact that I'm editing it in Windows? Is there a text-editor in Windows you'd recommend? Notepad doesn't recognize line breaks but Wordpad does, thought it would be OK, but it might be causing the problem.

My 3g modem doesn't work in Linux (in short, ZTE is a ***** )

Is there anyway to circumvent this? I could go to my Ubuntu install and edit it from there, but I'd have to bounce back and forth every time just to upload the file. Would appreciate if there was an easier solution(?)
