Sorry Barbara but I can't find the notes I made in 2009 when this first came up so at the moment I'm working off the top of my head.

Our version of usb-modeswitch was ported from the Linux version here http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/  On that site there is a little more information that might be of use to you.

Now another question.  What do you get when you type ppp in an OS/2 window after your usb modem is mounted?

The ppp usage is as follows if you need to know.

┌─────────────┐
│     PPP     │ OS/2 TCP/IP Point-to-Point Protocol Driver
│    2.00     │ Copyright(c) IBM Corp. 1994, 1995
└─────────────┘ Revision: 1.18a   10 Jan 1997 00:00:00

Usage: ppp [options], where options are:
        <device>        Communicate over the named device
        <speed>         Set the baud rate to <speed>
        <ip>:<ipdest>   Set the local and/or remote interface IP
                        addresses.  Either one may be omitted.
        asyncmap <n>    Set the desired async map to hex <n>
        auth            Require authentication from peer
        connect "cmd"   Invoke command cmd to set up the serial line
                            Ex. connect "slattach atdt9,999-9999 CONNECT"
        defaultroute    Add default route through interface
        file <f>        Take options from file <f>
        idle <n>        Set the idle timeout period to <n> minutes.
        modem           Set/Reset modem control lines
        mru <n>         Set MRU value to <n> for negotiation
        netmask <n>     Set interface netmask to <n>
        notify          Display notification message when DCD signal drops
        priority <n>    Set process scheduling priority to <n>
        rtscts          Use hardware RTS/CTS flow control
        silent          Don't send connect request to peer, wait for request

If you get some indication that ppp sees the modem on the com port it shouldn't take too much to get you connected.

Sigurd Fastenrath:
I do not know if it is of help, but Paul was so kind to compile a new version of usb_modeswitch April this year that I do attach here.

Unfortunatley I had no success with this version, but it did behave in another way then the 1.02 version.

At least something to play around with - another option. Thanks to Paul.
