> 3g Dongel HUAWEI Model:E160g
> This dongel contains software for windows and mac that automatically installs, (actually it doesn't even work properly on mac, but that's not important)  but it's not supported on linux


Wine won't help it connect - network connection stuff would have to be
done at the Linux level.

But I do know that model of dongle works just fine on Ubuntu, so it
should be possible to get it working on Puppy. (That machine could run
Xubuntu just about okay - main constraint being memory.)
