Hi, since i never used Safefire, can someone help me try to operate/connect the modem in subject?
Those are my output and config.sys statements:

DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\PSCOM.SYS (1,3F8,4)
DEVICE=C:\os2\boot\usbcom.sys /V /N:COM2 /M:1 /I:32 /O:32

outputs are

Thanks in advantage.

Hi Barbara,

I assume this is the 3G stick that needs a sim card in it to run.  If it is then I don't think you need any sort of dialler program to use it, in fact according to the specifications all it requires is a network connection (NDIS driver).

muffetta:
I don't know Ivan, from the link seems that after getting the device recognized by the system, you need SafeFire to connect, using a script not well clear (where and how to), since original language is russian and google translate does not help much.
Regards

ivan:
It is a pity that all the past info on this site appears to be lost because there was a full discussion on this subject that lead first to the porting of the usb-modeswitch from linux to OS/2 and then on to the actual use of the device.  I suspect the ecomstation.ru article is based on this the information we had here.

What I did then was look at the way linux activated and used the device.  Fortunately, the person asking about it was able to port the modeswitcher and so get his device seen and bypass the virtual CD that is presented (to allow the install of a windows control panel for the device before it switches to the modem).  Once that switching was accomplished, it was a fairly simple matter to use the modem.  Sorry but I can't remember the procedure because I don't have a unit to play with.  All I had at the time were the spec sheets that allowed me to know what it was supposed to do.

Now if Martin could find that old thread....
 

Andi B.:
Isn't there some dialer software like Injoy Dialer necessary to establish an IP connection over a modem? At least this was the case with the old standard modems before ADSL was introduced. And the stick seems to emulate a standard modem which needs AT strings to dial in.

Of course you can send this AT strings with a standard terminal program like ZOC or Hyper.. (?) too.
