Tata USB modem in Ubuntu - Pretty Easy !

5 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/tata-usb-modem-in-ubuntu-pretty-easy.73156/

I could connect internet using Airtel GPRS (cable).

Tried Reliance PCMCIA card, but no success yet.

Searched for TATA plug2surf USB modem working in google but not much luck, so I thought of following the same instructions -here and it worked perfectly !

Small changes needed.

Phone = *99#
Username = aa
Password = bbc

change those to

Phone = #777
Username = internet
Password = internet

Thats it ! No seperate driver install, nothing. I really started loving Ubuntu

Now, is this what Kajol says in her ad ? I mean truely plug n play ? LOL. In Win XP we need to install driver etc, but here in Ubuntu, nothing ! Pretty cool and I am happy !

Cool man, nice going, thanks for the info

good.. but the same steps wont help in configuring BSNL's USB EVDO modem.. please help me..

@Gigacore

I think it should work, I do not know why but I have a strong feeling that it will work. Please give a try and post your experience.

The details (how to do - you may be knowing it already) are at the links above. Also, the username, password and number parameters, change that according to BSNL settings.

ok.. will try it later once again.. and will let u know what happens.. thanks
