Just plug it in and it should be recognised (atleast debian 5 and kubuntu
jaunty recognises it ot of the box) You will need the following in your
wvdial.conf:
-------------------
[Dialer Defaults]
[Modem0]
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Baud = 115200
SetVolume = 0
Dial Command = ATDT
Init1 = ATZ
FlowControl = Hardware (CRTSCTS)
[Dialer cdma]
Username = your 10 digit tel no here (its on the back of the box)
Password = your 10 digit tel no here
Phone = #777
Stupid Mode = 1
Inherits = Modem0
------------------------------
then
sudo wvdial cdma
and you are away.
The only problem is that ou can't activate the card on linux. You will
have to get hold of a windows box for the same or ask the reliance chappie
to do it for you.

Sharukh.
