Hello

How do get this modem to load and run properly the system does not always pick it up?
I have to reboot a few times then it gets recognised and then it works. Tried to unmount the modem cos it recognises it as an usb storage device. How do i get the system to save and remember the setting when it does work?
Thanks

You may need to read up on (and install and configure) usb-modeswitch.

Can you upgrade to a later ubuntu? It was built in and preconfigured (for many modems, not sure about the 1750) from at least 10.10 and later.

Dude go and buy a pc/linux format a lot of times there is new distro's on the cover disk. Dont bother with 9.04 if you cant find a magazine close by go to CNA they will have a linux format just check the cover disk :)

Just be aware that vanilla Ubuntu, from v 11.04 onwards, brings the "Unity" interface which may take some getting used to. Mint is a good option, though
