Did you give the modem a special command with a terminal program (like AT+ZCDRUN or something) ?
I did the same thing that was mentioned by Ziesemer in the steps listed from the URL I gave. I created the .conf after noting the numbers from USBSniff in XP. I then ran usb_modeswitch and pointed it toward the .conf to get the settings. (I hope I answered your question sufficiently as I am pretty green to all of this).
Anyway, plug it into Linux and run "lsusb". Look for "106c:3b03" or for "106c:3715".
If you find the latter, it is in modem mode. Check if usb_modeswitch did the switch (it does if it is installed). If so, deinstall the usb_modeswitch package temporarily and re-plug the device. What is the result of "lsusb"?
I was trying to use lsusb last night and could not figure out how to use the parameters. Ziesemer says to use 'lsusb -l', but that does not seem to be an acceptable option now with the current version of lsusb; either that or I have no idea how to use it...
I also tried 'lsusb -D 5' as it was showing as 'Dev 5' when I would run 'lsusb -t' to list the connected usb items, but I received an error stating that it could connect to 5.
I did get it to load on Windows XP SP3 by plugging it in when PC was just starting to load the BIOS before Windows even comes into the picture, and after Windows loads, it shows as a CD-ROM. But if I plug it in after Windows is up, nothing happens.
Thanks for your prompt reply, looking forward to more help (as I need it)
