Success.... At last!
I was getting no where on Debian 8, glancing at Debian 9 spec, it said
it had support for G4 modems, so I install debian 9, with network
mangager..............still no joy .........ssssssiiiiggghhhhhh.
Anyway this morning I was ready for a challaenge so I decided to have
another go.
I ran the command "nmcli connection show" to see what was happening and
was stunned to find the following report...........
----------------------------------------------------------------
enx0c5b8f279a64: connected to Wired connection 3
"HUAWEI MOBILE"
ethernet (rndis_host), 0C:5B:8F:27:9A:64, hw, mtu 1500

---------------------------------------------------------
Its enx0c5b8f279a64 that I am looking for, it now works OK,
interestingly connection time is slower than with windows but transfer
rates appear to be good.
Why I did not do this before, god knows............
God its great to getaway from bl...y awfull windows.................
Now all (ALL!!!) I have to do is to reconfig my fire wall on to this box
and my small network is back on the air.
