hi pavan

first of all avoid writing in CAPS.it is considered as if someone is shouting .
though u can specify some iportant points in CAPS though


also u need to tell what chipset u have

dlink sells many modems of difernet chipsets(like HCF,sm56 etc etc)

also check out linmodems.org
get the scanmodem utility from there and u can get more details on your modem from there

regards

hi pavan

i am giving u this out of the box personal advice
in india there is very much problem of these hardware and their drivers for linux.
u can purchase them from linuxant.com for some 15$,now that is not posible for us in india everytime

now this a new modem altogether
i have go this modem with me also!!
and i will try this and see if u can get this working

also external modems though costly but are good with linux

also browse the driver cd and post the name of the driver u have in the linux directoy in the CD

regards
