Hi,

How can I configure windows to use a USB modem like I can do it on linux (http://forumz.in/1799-how-use-reliance-broadband-netconnect-ubuntu-linux/)

I need to bypass the std dialer software provided by the vendor, its exceptionally buggy/irksome and not easy to automate.

EDIT:

OS: Windows Vista (Home basic) Modem: ZTE AC871 or may be AC8710
