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(?)
Is your 3g modem USB? If so you could somehow install Windows under Virtualbox, then install your 3g modem in Windows (Virtualbox supports USB-access to guest OS) and then set the virtual network (between Windows and Ubuntu) so that the Guest OS shares the 3g internet access with the Host OS
