I got it working last week. See here:

It's a little bit technical and needs knowledge of the command-line and an editor, but I can confirm it does work, and quite well.
Cheers,

I am happy to report that I followed these instructions for on my MacBook Pro running OS 10.4.11 and successfully have the ZTE MG 880 functioning less than 24 hours after it was activated at the Reliance store in Kolkata.
I'd like to add the following tips:
1) I used the text editor BBEdit Lite 6.1 for OS X. It was free when I downloaded it some time ago.
2) I had to unlock the file and change the owner from System to myself in order to be able to save the additions to file. After that I changed the owner back to System. (first time I couldn't figure out how to get the additions saved and messed everything up and had to start over). When I started over, it took 3 times for the driver file to properly install.
3) For those of you (like me) who had never opened a terminal window, it's found under Applications, Utilities, Terminal in OS 10.4.11.
4) Cut and paste from Hari's webpage for all the additions and the commands, that way you don't have to worry about messing up!
5) When I unplugged and replugged in the modem it recognized it as a "PL2303-"
6) After that I had to go to System Preferences, Network and make a new location in the Location box. In the Show box I put in PL2303- (this is where you have the choice of Ethernet, Bluetooth, Airport etc) and then I had to click on Modem.
7) It took me awhile to find it in the modem choices because mine comes up as an "au CDMA 1x WIN WO1K"
8) After that you enter the log in info and phone number. I can't quite remember exactly how/where those windows come up, but if you successfully make it this far, I'm sure you'll be able to work this part out.
Thanks so much Hari.
