Sony Vaio + Vodafone 3G

Hi

I have a Vodafone 3g 'data connect USB modem' and I have recently acquired a
Vaio TZ331WN which has an on-board 3G transceiver. Irritatingly, its seems
you can only get the Vaio to work with the bundled T-Mobile software and sim
card.

Even more irritatingly, the Vodafone Connect software only seems to support
on-board 3G capability on Acer, Dell, HP and Lenovo machines.

Obviously, I can continue to use the USB dongle but it seems unnecessarily
awkward. So the question is:

a)    can I use any of the other packages (for Acer, Dell etc) with my Vaio?
b)    is there a third party application I can use which will use the
internal 3G transceiver with a Vodafone sim?

Any advice please?

Thanks

Paul

Happily, I have solved this myself (with the help of the trusty interweb).
The driver and a communications utility is available from Sony for XP. It
runs fine on Vista. Doesn't do anything fancy - but all I want is to be able
to address the transceiver, which it does.
