OK, I would say it's up to you to decide. But what about Linux distros ? Do all provide usb_modeswitch tool ? I know that this is not up to you, but up to quality of packagers but anyway, there should be somebody in distro packagers who would create and package settings for this modem into udev package. Or probably udev developers. Anyway, it would be nice to have it plug & play available for linux user which are not that skilled to do all the stuff around to make it running correctly. Something like exists currently for Huawei modem for example. I also have one and it works perfect. And finally, there are many users of this modem in Slovakia as one of slovak mobile providers had a campaign with it ;-) Peter On Tuesday 06 October 2009 23:36:15 Phil Dibowitz wrote: > Matthew Dharm wrote: > > On Tue, Oct 06, 2009 at 11:16:07PM +0200, Peter Magdina wrote: > >> Imagine you already have some USB serial device plugged and running > >> and you decide to plug this one.
