hi m8 firstly if you need to do anything with this modem you will need what is called a max232 connector its a circuit with a connector that connects to your pc and modem to enable flash files to be added to the modem.. cost about 12 quid
sells em or ebay..
then you need hyperterminal app and ethernet cable..
if the modem doesent have 1 2 p option you can use the console hack app i posted to put p option back on then flash modem with firmware of your choice i prefer infinate fimrware but peeps are trying harvoware up to you really..
