Globetrotter HSDPA Modem

[Jochen Wiedmann <jochen wiedmann gmail com>]

Hi,

I have bought a so-called web'n'walk stick, which identifies itself as
a "Globetrotter HSDPA Model". I managed to get it identified as a
serial device (initially, it is detected as a USB drive), but I fail
to get it working. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jochen
