How to use gprs internet on puppy linux?

I have been playing around with puppy linux for a while. Puppy linux is very  fast and use minimal system resources.The boot is lightening fast and the gui is also clean.The first thing that one would want to do when one sets up a new disto is to connect it to internet and customize it.Here i today guide you how to connect to internet via gprs by using your mobile as a modem.the systems i am using are:

• Nokia C2

                                                        

• Compaq CQ40 -317TU

• Softy connectivity adapter cable CA-101

• Gprs internet - service provider bsnl india

follow the steps given below:

• Boot to puppy Linux and connect your mobile phone to computer via the cable.As i am using nokia c2 i got following options on my mobile on the connection

                                                           *data cable
                                                           *printing&media
                                                           *data storage
         select the first i;e data cable

• Now download cdc-acm-update-k2.6.33.2.pet from here. You would require this to help find your mobile .now go to TERMINAL or the thing called CONSOLE in the desktop and type "dmesg"(without thecotes of-course  )at the end of the command output if you can see somthing like this "cdc_acm 5-2:1.4: ttyACM0:USB ACM device" this means your mobile is detected and can be used.
• Click on the network icon in your tray .Now the network connection wizzard pops up.Click on the internet through wireless gprs option.

• Now the pgprs modem setup wizard pops up,fill it up as follows:-

         serial modem device file:/dev/<your device name>
         APN:the APN of your service provider(contact the ISP or Google it up)
         USERNAME:your username(usually your phone number)
         PASSWORD:your password(usually your phone number)
         PHONE NUMBER:the number of ISP which should be dialed to connect to internet
         PHONE PIN:1234(leave it as such it works with most cell phones or enter the pin if you have changed the default pin)

         Here is how i filled it up(i am using the services of Bsnl India), Serial modem device file:/dev/ttyACM0
         APN:bsnlnet
         USERNAME:my phone number
         PASSWORD:my phone number
         PHONE NUMBER:*99#
         PHONE PIN:1234 

(Bsnl guys with Nokia mobiles can just copy me as it is except the cell no.)

• Click on the "ok" button,now you would be shown a message "connect to internet using 'PGPRS Connect' in the 'network' menu".click on the "okay" button.one last time go to console again and type "dmesg"(this is to conform that your mobile is detected )
• Go to MENU>NETWORK>PGPRS CONNECT.If all goes well you will connected to internet.
