Yes,  I agree with that,  but what about the  modem mode in the dongle?
The dongle has flash memory,  so Isn't  it possible for the status
within the modem mode to be changed in such a way that the change
survives an unplug?

 I'm still seeing inconsistent behaviour,  but some of it suggests that when my 
dongle switches into modem mode,  my system is not always seeing the same 
condition.   It always gives an indication of the mobile service being 
available,  but sometimes it won't connect and sometimes it will connect.    
How can we explain why an unplug-replug sometimes makes it connect,  and 
sometimes it doesn't??  
   
Today my Ocelot left my dongle in such a condition that when I tried to use it 
with my Windows Huawei Mobile Connect software,  it wouldn't connect there 
either.  No amount of unplugging-replugging or closing and reopening Mobile 
Connect would persuade it to connect,  even though it was al.ways indicating 
that my mobile provider's service had been detected and was available.    Only 
when I went back on Ocelot and performed a usb-modeswitch command on it did it 
finally connect again. 

As you may gather,  I'm still stuck in brainstorm mode !
