I installed Ubuntu on an old computer. It only has a modem port, and no LAN port. But since it has USB then I can use the USB mobile dongle to connect to the Internet. In order to use it, I need to install the package usb_modeswitch . How and where from to download the files needed from from another computer and how can I install them?

Once you get the necessary files downloaded, and copied to the old computer, take a look at this site

Or You can click here to download

Try APTonCD a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via APT-GET or APTITUDE, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers (description from APTonCD project website).

Installation files, and instructions can be found here. It walks you through compiling the source, kind of a pain, but it seems to me to be pretty straight forward. unpack, run make. Hope it helps.
