My New Modem Won't Install

Thanks for the helpful link. It is good to know it is possible to have this
modem work. My Dell came with Ubuntu 8.04. But I have done updates every
week, so I should have the most current version of Ubuntu.
When I plug in the USB modem, I get an icon on the desktop. No wizard to
install the modem. When I click on the Verizon desktop icon, I get an
explorer type screen. When I click on any of the files nothing happens.
When I click on the Network button and choose the Mobile Broadband tab,
there is nothing there.
I am an absolute computer novice. All I have ever done on my computer is
email, research, forums, and shop. So sadly I did not understand anything
in the info from the link to the other forum.
I wondered about ejecting the modem? Is that something that should be
done? It sounds counterproductive.
Thank you so much for trying to help me. I'm sorry to be such a beginner.
