Thanks for this link, I firstly ran this on my aging PowerMac desktop where of xourse it worked first time and then on my Ubuntu laptop (Dell Inspiron) did steps 1 - 5 before, then was not sure and went to step 12. So now I think best is I restart from scratch. I did not understand whether to continue to point 6 and onwards or go to point 12.

You can see the hardware info at:-

Thanks for this link, I firstly ran the OS X install on my aging PowerMac desktop, of of course it worked first time, so I have tested the modem as working!

Then on my Ubuntu laptop (Dell Inspiron) I followed steps 1 - 5 of your advice then was not sure and went to step 12.

Slowly getting there! Setting up ppp connection fails lcp:timeout sending Config-Requests

I can send SMS using UMTS Monitor though, so I am really getting there - thanks so far for the help.

Any ideas as to why ppp fails???

This may help to give me the ppp help I need!

SPB,

Have you tried using the Modem Connection in System > Administration > Network?
Enable the Modem Connection, set the modem to /dev/ttyUSB0

As I needed a working laptop with internet have given up for the moment and installed XP

Boss,

You can see my tutorial, i used this modem too, and after trying and trying .. i can get it works with my lovely ubuntu.

Here it is the link :

or

http://www.ikast3.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=135&forum=9

but unfortunately i wrote it in Indonesian Language .. but i think .. since it's technical, you can assume and follow the steps.

Hopefully, it will help you.
any further question just send me an email boss,

thank you,

superpinjal

you can't use this modem directly as a modem because when you plug this modem to your Ubuntu, it works as a Mass Storage and try to install the software directly in your Ubuntu.
My link above will tell you how to use directly the device as a modem instead of mass storage for the first time.
Anyway .. i got the source code from the google (sorry .. i'm forget the source link) and try to use it and it works.

There's a new solution now:

Please try this if you are using Ubuntu 8.10 or Ubuntu 9.04:
