I just chopped off your statement asking not to send links of HowTos
because, I have to do. If everything is smooth and easy, there is no
meaning in living, especially there is no meaning in using Linux. There
is always a fun quotient related to trying and making things work.
Secondly, most HowTos are written by people who had problem, found out
what the problem was, tried their best to solve the problem and did, and
was humble enough to write a document on their experience so that it is
not as much harder for others to do the same. There is a problem with
the Alcatel Modem provided by Airtel, as its operation is a bit
different from other commonly used modems. And hence, you need to take
some extra effort to make it work.

This HowTo explains both why is it so and how to solve it -
