I recently got a Tata Indicom wireless modem. It is a device from Epivalley and uses the qualcomm chip. It came with a software CD which contained the softwares only for windows. I searched through the forum and I found a very simple way of configuring it in ubuntu. In ubuntu the modem got detected without installing any additional softwares and all I have to do was to set some configuration information for it to connect to the ISP. I had to create some files to put in the settings required by it.
I created the peers file with theĀ command.
gksudo gedit /etc/ppp/peers/tatagprs
Put these commands starting with a blank line into the file and save it.
noauth connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/tatagprs" debug /dev/ttyACM0 460800 defaultroute noipdefault user "internet" password "internet" remotename tata ipparam tata usepeerdns
Next I created the chatscript with the command
gksudo gedit /etc/chatscripts/tatagprs
Then I put these contents into the file and saved it.
ABORT 'BUSY' ABORT 'NO CARRIER' ABORT 'ERROR' '' ATZ OK ATDT#777 CONNECT ''
Now to connect to the internet I will open a terminal and type.
pon tatagprs
and to disconnect I simply type
poff tatagprs or
poff

many people discuss about ubuntu.. is it good enough if we compare with redhat ?

hey this is a matter of choice buddy. It depends upon our needs.
I feel comfortable with ubuntu since i started with debain based distros. I you are from windows background then you can use either of them or both (if you like). And finally I should mention this, RedHat is the largest contributor to the linux kernel and i do not know whether ubuntu did something similar and redhat is used in many industries but ubuntu is just catching up. Ubuntu is free as in beer, but redhat needs a license.

I am getting the error only “dip” user can use this….how to solve this

You are getting this because you are not in the dip group. you can solve this in two ways.
1. please add yourself to “dip” group
2. run this with elevated privileges ( prefix the command with “sudo “)
