If you're using a HUAWEI modem - such as MTN's YelloLine, you need to get the USB-serial dongle working with Linux.
Newer versions of Linux use Hal & UDEV to handle devices and getting the modem in a state where your distro "sees" the modem is a simple 2-step process.
1. Edit /etc/udev/rules.d/50-rules and add the following line:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION="" ENV{PRODUCT}=="451/3410/*", RUN+="/etc/udev/scripts/ti_usb_3410_5052.hotplug %p"
2. Copy the attached script to /etc/udev/scripts/ti_usb_3410_5052.hotplug
Voila. When you plug in, your modem is seen as /dev/ttyUSBX (usually ttyUSB0)
Configure using your favourite tool - kppp, wvdial, etc.
3. (optional)
If you like your /dev/modem to be a permanent soft-link, then edit /etc/udev/static_devices.txt and add
modem l ttyUSB0
That's an L, not a ONE.
