6. You can re-enable Active Sync after installation. When u wish to use the phone as a USB Modem remove it from the cradle and activate the Mode Link and place it back in the cradle, Active Sync wont start and instead you will be in modem mode.

It is not possible to use the phone as a USB Modem with Win 98 / SE / ME unfortunately.
