Huawei E1752C Modem - WCDMA Only

[LiamOS]

Hi,

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 amd64 on a HP G62, in Ireland attempting to connect to the O2 network.

As of late, my Huawei modem has been connecting to GPRS far too much for my liking, so I'm attempting to find out if it's possible to set it to a WCDMA only or equivalent setting, as it is on Windows using the supplied program.
Unfortunately, I'm a complete newbie when it comes to modems and such, so my escapades with minicom in the terminal failed dismally(I can't even figure out how to enter commands).
Does anybody have any idea on how I might achieve this? Thanks.

Liam.

Problem solved.

I installed moserial, and selected my device in port settings(/dev/ttyUSB3 in this case), and used the appropriate command from the following:

2G Only: AT^SYSCFG=13,1,3FFFFFFF,2,4
3G Only: AT^SYSCFG=14,2,3FFFFFFF,2,4
2G Preferred : AT^SYSCFG=2,1,3FFFFFFF,2,4
3G Preferred: AT^SYSCFG=2,2,3FFFFFFF,2,4
