you can't use gprs on a linux. This is as far as I know. Try using a broadband service if it is available. Linux is not still that much sophisticated to run a gprs modem.

That's wrong. I was using gprs for accessing internet from GNU/Linux.

What kind of a modem is it? An internal one or the one you plug to USB?
First you need to detect the device name, which the OS assigns to it, when you connect the device.

After that, you can use "wvdial" to dial..

If it is a USB device you can use wvdail to dail. In our place lot of people are using this USB thing to connect to the internet, and you can certainly do that in Ubuntu.

@ saynews

Is your problem solved? If not, reply. I am happy to help you with configuring GPRS in your GNU/Linux system.

it's edge data card named est-u810. it's an external usb modem. in windows it uses the COM ports.but theres nothing call COM ports in linux. so inside WINE, it stays undetected.I tried with ndiswrapper but no work.it does not assign it with linux ports like ttyUSB orttyACM.

Could you send me a copy of the dmesg text or copy it here as an attachment? let me check it.
