That ^ usually means you're parsing data from the incorrect device

Could you please paste a small sample of the output from:-
# cat /dev/ttyUSB1

No - but it's a valid command though.

# comgt -d /dev/ttyUSB1 3G
will put the modem into 3G mode (if it can get a 3G signal).

I normally lock (AT command) the modem to 3G as it's a higher (roaming)
rate for GPRS as well as slower.

sigmon just runs:-
# comgt -d /dev/ttyUSB1
every 5 seconds (using whatever protocol the modem is connected on)
handy for antennae tuning.

The problem might not be the modem:-

Thanks - I'll check that against the usb-modeswitch db entry when I've
had dinner. I've come across different things with modems in Greece in
the past (the ZTE MF627 from 3 was unlockable in the Greek model, ditto
with a Cosmote modem)

Then work out a simple way to test your connection (ppp with debug) so
we can work out where the problem is. (if Andrei hasn't sorted it for
you before then).

That's a K3770 modem (they're an OK modem). It should be 12d1:14d1
before it flips. I don't know what the Z sub-model means.

Some else mentioned the Sagis utility - you could try that - I've used
it in the past and it works very well. Squeeze's NetworkManager is, um,
a fine idea - but far from perfect at handling USB 3G modems.

My personal preference is pon - but kppp and wvdial are good too.

Is this a prepaid modem?
Do you have a PIN set?


Cheers
