Hi Paul I have a couple of ZTE MF262's that I have disabled the CDRUN on, and I use them in a pair of servers for internet and sending sms's. I found out how to disable it at www.matt-barrett.com/?p=6 at steps 1, 2 & 3. >From Linux it can be done using screen (for reasonable terminal skill level) after unmounting and resetting. My notes as follows: ~# screen /dev/ttyUSB1 ATZ (Should return OK) AT+ZOPRT=5 (Should return OK) AT+ZCDRUN=8 (Should return Close autorun state result(0:FAIL 1:SUCCESS):1) Ctrl-A k y (To kill the window and exit screen) The device will now be in plain of modem mode. Enjoy. To turn CDRUN back on, rerun the above commands with CDRUN=9 instead or CDRUN=8. - Karl -- ubuntu-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
