Hi Tony, I use the usb vodafone mobile stick with my netbook.the software is accessible with window eyes. I have the pay as you go usb stick. it seems very cheap. I listened for two hours the other night to an rnib online talking book and it cost eighty pence or something like that. I am just thinking of changing my main router as it keeps cutting out. it is an eddimax.
must ring demon to see which one to use now. so usb vodafone stick you can use it o.k. cheers. At 10:02 23/02/2010, you wrote:

I have a ZTE modem as well as the Huawei. The Huawei I'm afraid to say is totally inaccessible. It uses a program made by Birdstep Technology who haven't seen fit to either label graphics with meaningful text captions, nor provide any shortcuts for use with the keyboard. Oddly though, I also have a ZTE modem, yet find the software totally unusable as well. The software on my ZTE is 3 connection manager, is this the same on your modem? The only Huawei modem I have is the E169G which is old but the program has the shortcut keys I need to get online. All the best, Ibrahim. ----- Original Message ----- From: "tony sweeney" <<mailto:deirton711@xxxxxxxxx>deirton711@xxxxxxxxx> To: "access-uk" <<mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, February 22, 2010 12:50 PM Subject: [access-uk] Huawei & ZTE > Hi All, > > I'm using a ZTE modem/dongle with 3 mobile broadband which is about 3.5 > megabites of download speed. > > I was sent an upgrade modem/dongle by 3 which was of Huawei but I couldn't > access it using the keyboard as I could the ZTE one! > > The latter one is faster with about 7.2 megabites I believe. > > However I have now reverted back to my old ZTEdongle till I can possibly > get the other sorted; well at least it mostly works for me! > > Anyone out there cracked the 'connect/disconnect' keyboard-wise on the > Huawei? > > I have it for a week's trial starting today. > > Thanks > > Tony Sweeney > ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- > ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] > ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: > ** <mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > ** and in the Subject line type > ** unsubscribe > ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the > ** immediately-following link:- > ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] > ** or send a message, to> ** <mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq> > ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** <mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to** <mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq__________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4888 (20100222) __________The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. <http://www.eset.com>http://www.eset.com
