Not able to connect internet usin USB modem.

Hi,
I am using samsung mobile (sgh-b220) in order to connect to the internet. I can easily connect on windows system , using PC studio software.
I tried KPPP, wvidial none solved the problem.
(It successfully dials the number. Put pppd connection will be terminated)


Some how I managed to scan modem communication taking place on the windows system, and tried exact commands on linux system still I am not able connect.

I have attached log files from windows machine. wvidial.conf, wvidial out put file along with this post.

Please help me to get rid of windows,
Thanks
Shakthi

NetworkManager should recognise the modem and connect it automatically for you. If needed you can edit hte connections details by right clicking on the NM icon.

I have been using a mobile broadband usb modem with Fedora for many versions now and it always works without need to set up manually.
