I've been lurking here for a few years now and this is the first problem I've run in to I couldn't fix myself by searching. I'm trying to get my Novatel mifi5792 to tether with my MKIV. In searching I've found "how" to add a 3g modem, however, I don't have the right configuration settings.

I'm not looking to be spoon fed. I'd be satisfied with someone just pointing me in the right direction. At this point, I'm just throwing rocks in the dark.
