dongel is airtel 3g stick from which i can access internet
i need to use port no in my project ....plz help me to find port no
private static String port = " "; //Modem Port.
private static int bitRate = 115200; //this is also optional. leave as it is.
private static String modemName = "ZTE"; //this is optional.
private static String modemPin = "0000"; //Pin code if any have assigned to the modem.
private static String SMSC = ""; //Message Center Number ex. Mobitel
As I understand this device requires usb_modeswitch so that it can be recognised as a modem device. What distribution are you running? No experience using a 3G MODEM so hopefully others will chime in.

Note that udev maps devices all over the place, especially serial ports,... so you can have your modem plugged into the first USB port, and this time it'll be /dev/ttyUSB0,... but next time it could be /dev/ttyUSB1 ... No rhyme or reason... The Roman Catholic Church has the mysteries of faith,... Linux users have udev. Udev rules help tidy it up.
To determine the details of the ACTUAL physical device you'd be looking at the /proc system... Which is part of what lsusb does... In the above case, bus 1, assigned as device 5.
