2: Login as root and go to Applications> Terminal.Enter command wvdialconf and the prompt.Ubuntu searches for a modem and finds the attached USB modem-evident by the output lines saying:

Found an USB Modem on /dev/ttyACM0.Modem configuration written to /etc/wvial.confi.

3: Go to the menu bar Places>Computer>File System>ETC folder and open wvdial.conf file.Remove leading semi-colon character from the lines supplying username,password and phone number.Now complete the lines by entering correct values.Here,add one more line setting Stupid Mode to 1.The updated wvdial.conf file should now look this (order of lines may differ-it does not matter):

Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 & C1 & D2
+FCLASS = 0
Modem Type = USB Modem

----->pppd: x[08][06][08]?[10][06][08]
----->secondary DNS address
202.125.148.204
----->pppd: x[08][06][08]?[10][06][08]
