There is one small point about that ZTE device though which is a bit strange. On all other USB Broadband dongles that I've played with and which are already supported by the kernel when the normal devices are modeswitched into modem mode of operation the modem communicates on /dev/ttyUSB0 On this ZTE dongle when it's modeswitched /dev/ttyUSB0 is a dummy which does not respond and the device actually uses /dev/ttyUSB1. I've had to change all my ppp scripts to take this into effect. Perhaps this is my modeswitch command being slightly wrong or something. I'll try to find out.
