Thanks John, Thats what all that stuff about usb-modeswitch is about.
That little utility does the same thing you are doing manually. Although
on my machine it didn't become a modem by ejecting the CD it was
emulating until I updated the data files usb-modeswitch uses to the ones
with info about my stick.
I'm managing to get it to become a modem and then I can use Minicom to
send AT commands to it, and I can get it to it to the point where the
modem says "connect" but the ppp session that is supposed to follow
does not start. I have sent ppp commands after "connect" to try to kick
it off but no luck.
I use my Three 'phone as a modem over bluetooth and it works fine. But I
was travelling where the Three coverage is really flaky hence the
Vodafone usb stick. I managed by using the Voda thing on WinXP.
And the Sakis3G script mentioned earlier in this thread seemed to
stumble at the same point.
Thanks
Ken
