USB devices can operate in different configurations (mass storage, modem, etc.), and by default USB modems are configured to use mass storage, so the drivers get installed before they can operate as a modem. Hence, in your dmesg output, you see that the modem is detected as mass storage: May 13 11:13:30 leena-laptop kernel: [ 1618.148842] USB Mass Storage support registered. --- | 1.

Before you run it, open a terminal and type "sudo tail -f /var/log/messages". Run the script and see what messages you get. You will probably see a /dev/ttyACM0 device connected message -- which is the device file that talks to the modem. You should now be able to dial and use the modem. --- | THis post was very thorough and thanks for listing it, as I said I am new to | linux hence would have made some mistakes. \-- While we cannot see what you are doing in the GUI, it is very easy to tell what the system is doing from output of console commands. Even if newbies, mistakenly, give wrong outputs, we can easily tell. They are very powerful, indeed.
