Hi,

You can use wvdial or kppp
Take a look at
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ac8710-732475/

hii Jerome u said ur new to linux so as I.
there is a installation guide available in tataindicom website
or u can use the code



Steps.

1. Connect / Plug your photon+ to the system and wait till it gets ditected.

2. Open a terminal, run a command "dmesg" and check it is showing the modem name as HUAWEI.

3. Run another command "sudo wvdial" and its will create a config file in /etc/wvdial.conf, something like shown below.

(if u dont have wvdial, you can download it from open.alumnit.ca)



by running "cat /etc/wvdial.conf"

or you can edit it using the commadn "vi /etc/wvdial.conf"
