How to make tata indicom plug to surf run on Ubuntu 9.04

1.First just plug your Tata indicom USB to your Laptop system

2.Then go to Root terminal

You can access it from Applications->System Tools->Root Terminal

3.In the terminal simply enter wvdial

4. If wvdial is not installed please get it installed with dependencies (see my other post related to this)

5.if your modem has been detected you would get a error message like this

Modem intialized

Invalid Phone number

Invalid username

Invaild password

if you get a error message like this then you need to configure wvdial

5.For that go to root terminal and type

sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf

wvdial.conf is generally stored in etc folder

Now the file would be opened in geditor

Just cut and copy the below code

[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Baud = 460800
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2
+FCLASS=0
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = USB Modem
Phone = #777
Username = internet
Password = internet
stupid mode = 1



and then save it




After saving it go to root terminal and type wvdial

now the modem would connect itself to internet after a series of messages on your root terminal

You would generally get these messages Primary DNS address ,ip,Secondary DNS Address..

There you are.........online.....from linux..........wireless...........priceless too.. :)
