How to connect TATA DOCOMO INTERNET to Linux OS?

Hello Friends,

I know how to connect TATA DOCOMO INTERNET to the PC which is having Windows OS. I have been successfully using it. I wanna connect TATA DOCOMO INTERNET to Linux OS. I have so much googled for the connection settings and the solutions but no use.
If anybody provide me good solution it would be very helpful.

Additional Details

Thanks for your replies friends,
I am using Ubuntu linux, as you guys suggested i used wvdial method.
Since, mine is TATA DOCOMO
The phone number is *99#
There is no username and password for TATA DOCOMO even i contacted the customer service for Username and password they advised me to leave the fields empty.
I tried the wvdial method my ubuntu linux found my modem at <ttyACM0>
and found the carrier for the given phone number but finally i am getting error like, modem is not responding. Think, i get this error because of Username and password.
I gave username and password as internet and tried but no use.
any suggestions please
 
Install WVDIAL(By using synaptic package manager or in terminal type sudo apt-get install wvdial)
Open wvdial.conf file.Type sudo nano /etc/wvdial.conf
copy and paste this wvdial file in the terminal.I got this wvdial from PUPPY LINUX.

[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Baud = 230400
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Carrier Check = yes
Dial Command = ATDT
Phone = MYISPPHONENUM
Username = MYUSERNAME
Password = MYPASSWORD
Stupid Mode = yes
Auto Reconnect = yes

[Dialer Docomo]
Phone = *99***1#
Username = Docomo
Password = Docomo
Stupid Mode = yes
Auto Reconnect = yes

Press Ctrl+O to write out .

Press Enter.

Press Ctrl+X to exit
Type sudo wvdial Docomo in terminal
Note:If not working Make changes in dial no (in second part line 2 phone=*99#)
then try .Also try changing modem name in second line of first part.
Modem=/dev/ACM0 or Modem=/dev/ACM1 or Modem=/dev/rfcomm0 (bluetooth)

The name of modem can be detected by using GNOME PPP or KPPP.

Install it by typing sudo apt-get install gnome-ppp

Open it and then clickon Setup button.A new window will appear .

Click on the Detect button.If modem is available a new window will show ‘Detecting your modem’. Wait then you can see the name of modem in Device:/dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyUSB1 .Use this name in wvdial in the seconline.

We will use the terminal.Attach your phone or your usb modem to the computer, wait for 1-2 minutes for the device to settle down, and then give the command " wvdialconf " as root user. If the command prints out something like this, its simple otherwise u will have to do more googling :( :

Found a modem on /dev/ttyUSB2.
Modem configuration written to /etc/wvdial.conf.

Now open the file /etc/wvdial.conf (you will need root privilleges) and fill these fields:
phone = "the number used to dial the internet, mine is #777 for reliance"
username = "if any, for reliance, its same as phone number"
password= "if any, for reliance, its same as phone number"

After this, just fire " wvdial " , again as root, and you should get the connection, dont close the terminal window.
which linux OS you are using... if it is ubuntu use their help file and search dial up then do as advised there and you have to configure in dial up networking only.....
The dial up configuration is common whether tata, Reliance or Bsnl.... and keep noting down what ever you are doing so that it will help you in future also....
I could tell but I want you to do it yourself and learn it so that you have confidence in you....
I am using Ubuntu for the past 5 yrs and advice you to put up such questions at launchpad.net under ubuntu... registration is free so do it for you.
