The CD which comes with the USB modem also has instructions on what the end users needs to put into their /etc/wvdial.conf for linux to dial. I found this amazing from Tata to support Linux users. How ever like Prakash mentioned I got the Tata Photon+ ZTE version which does not get detected. But I found amazing speeds for a mobile device with it on a windows machine. I got around 200+ Kbps near Richmond Road, Bangalore. But only nearly 120 Kbps near my home which is 12 km from city center. Regards, PD
