@Mehma,

MF192 is a ZTE modem, not Huawei.

That said, I will tell you that I'd rather a Huawei modem than a ZTE,
because ZTE are opaque with their AT command set.

Anyway, if you cannot afford a Huawei E160 (I know they went missing in our
market), then maybe the expensive Huawei E1820 will do? No, I know you want
to save on expenses.

So try this on MF192 (I was given the string by a mole I have inside ZTE,
but because I am unwilling to buy Orange credit, I never quite got round to
testing it).

To disable the virtual CD-ROM so that the modem only presents itself as a
modem, try the following AT commands from hyperterminal:

at
OK
at%usbmodem?
%USBMODEM: 1


OK
*at%usbmodem=0*
%USBMODEM: [1] CD DRIVER

PS: I still believe you can get someone to find a Huawei E160... even 2nd
hand. It's guaranteed to work if the ZTE refuses. I recall I proved to you
that Huawei works, and recommended it, right? Maybe all that work I did was
not useful for you.
