Is there something different with 10.6.5 or does this version of Snow Leopard even recognize the U727?

Thank you SO..OO much. P.S. Using Copy from a your page and Paste into the Terminal window works well to avoid having to type the commands.

Your suggested fix works great. Ben, they should link to this page from Sprint.com. Your suggested fix works great.

If you remove the data driver but not the filter driver then it will not automount and the WWAN interface will just come up without you having to do anything (or at least it does for me).

No biggie, just eject it and everything else works great. one other note: on my MacBookAir, when I first plug in the u727, it shows up as a CD (not a drive).

Being non-technical in my capabilities, I was nervous that I'd have to buy another device. Thanks so much for your well-written, simple instructions. I had trouble at first, but was simply missing a space in the command string. That was easy to solve, and now I'm up and running. Thanks again. Wow, thanks!
