HI all,<br>Sorry to intrude, but HWActivator is the Huawei supplied utility to switch their modems from CD to Modem mode. It is included with a MobilePartner java application and a jre usually. I have also looked a little into it, and while the strings inside and ldd point to HWA using gpl code, I didn't have the time to dig much further. <br>
What I also found was that the Huawei-ppp-on-dialer has a email address, <a href="mailto:jiangyanfeng@gmail.com">jiangyanfeng@gmail.com</a>, which might put you in reach with one of developers.<br>Regards,<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Refer to <a href="http://www.fk21.co.uk/cgi-bin/fk21.cgi?sub=tmobile" target="_blank">http://www.fk21.co.uk/cgi-bin/fk21.cgi?sub=tmobile</a> for a<br>
general idea on how you might be able to work. Note, however, that HW<br>
Activator is a utility front end to the actual modem driver.<br>
<br>
Oh, and it WAS all provided on the CD-ROM that came with it.<br>
