Ok, but without cmcc not sure how to add the APN. It isnt going to tether without correct APN for my cell network. But looks like have more searching and reading to do. By way I did open connman and it apparently saw the phone as it let me click to try tethering. But without an APN, it cant tether. And of course no silly experiment without a suitable punishment. I can now no longer use AntiX cause whatever happened, it hosed the ability to involve the DNS server for gnome-ppp. Oh I can ping numerical address, but cant resolve names. During gnome-ppp connection it finds the cell network DNS servers (they lock out any but their own), just cant use them. I can see what gnome-ppp does cause I have to start it from root terminal. Shows in terminal what its doing.
