A few exciting things today:
** I successfully completed one month staying at home during my vacation. Really, time flies so fast!
** Wrote and submitted a first version of a paper, in IPDCA 2013, that too by writing in a Microsoft Word template!!
** Just checked that this blog site has been viewed from 9 countries. Whoever is viewing the blogs, thank you! You inspire me. I would really appreciate if you leave a comment.
Well, the purpose of this post was definitely not mentioning these comments. But I was so excited to share.
Now comes the sole reason of this blog. I just bought this Micromax 3G USB modem (where you can put your 3G SIM card) that can be plugged into the computer to surf the internet. Micromax is basically an Indian company and this blog will be mainly helpful to Indian people. Oh well, we have some billion to spread the info too. :D
The USB modem model is MMX353G. There is not separate device software supplied with this modem, as it has an inbuilt driver that works with PC/Mac platform. Being mostly a Ubuntu user, I tried to find if there is a way to connect the modem in Ubuntu. Thankfully, there was an easy solution!
1. Download an executable called Sakis3G from here. It's a tarball. Inside you will get the executable "sakis3g"
2. Unpack it to your home directory or wherever you want.
3. Run it from bash ./sakis3g
Hopefully you will go through the following steps. Don't forget to plug in the USB dongle before you run the executable.
Here give your mobile number (10 digit) that is given in the SIM card. Both as UserID and password. The same thing!
They create a nice little shortcut if you click on the create shortcut option. Hope it helps someone!!
