Re: [March 18th, 2009] "One Rom To Rule Them All..." MIGHTYROM 4.14 [20771]

This mightyrom is amazing, no doubt. But there is a problem that's really been bugging me. I dislike ICS, I think its Microsoft Proprietary junk and a real PPP connection is superior. I started off with the Apache, and then the Titan, then the Touch Pro. I always liked the original WMODEM.EXE functionality. For some reason I Cannot load wmodem.exe in the Touch Pro Windows Mobile Environment. Ive tried 4 or 5 different versions. Is there a hack of some sort to get the original WMODEM PPP modem working? Its so much better for UNIX/Linux etc, enables you to open ports and not be behind a firewall (Essentially ICS is a 'router' of sorts) and it doesn't drain the PDA's battery so much.

Help on getting the original WMODEM.EXE functionality we all know and love would be appreciated. I've posted all over PPC Geeks and XDA Developers with no luck. Thanks

I've tried the following things:

Using the wmodem.exe from the HTC Titan
Using 3-4 different versions submitted to me on XDA Developers in a zip file
Loading my H:\ drive (Phone as Hard Drive) then going into CMD.EXE - attrib -S -H each wmodem.exe
Turning off TouchFlo3D on a hunch didn't make it work either

Double tapping and hitting enter on the WMODEM.EXE causes nothing to happen. Its as if you put this in a C++ program:

main() {
exit(0);
}

It just simply does nothing. No error is displayed or anything.
Because I'm desperate here and really want a PPP connection off my touch pro .and nobody seems to answer me when I put this up, this is my second time asking. I'm using bold yellow, green, and teal colors to grab your attention, MightyMike, hopefully you or someone can give the scoop. Please don't tell me to "GOOGLE IT" because I've searched ALLLLL over google. I've been researching how to get this working for over a month now. It's really important to me
