@mrgupta : Thanks.
If it has only One USB outlet and no LAN port
classic computer Basic pgm
IF ...... Then ..... Else ..... Goto !
I had to download at least the quick start manual, to confirm whether there is an USB port/lanport in the modem or not. Normally , I expect the person who starts the query, to down load at least the user manual, and give links at the first instance.,which is an easy job because of
Google/Yahoo search engines. We cannot download all the modems/
routers manuals drivers/firmware etc at the first instance, and if only persons having the same modem have to reply, the person will have to wait .
After the initial reply or response only, I dig for an answer. I share the anxiety of the person asking for help, and try to give some suggestion/idea FAST at the initial stage.
Say someone in BSNL says my modem is not working and fail to give the model number , I simply refer them to the India wiki here, or Calcutta telephones site or some other IBF link ( searching through the tags) assuming he/she has modem supplied by BSNL,.
Recent example you can see the thread given here and see how it developed.

My contribution may be minimum.
Para two:
I am on a limited usage d/l and u/l of 1.4GB (during day time Airtel +Dataone)for a month. Only during nights ( Airtel free NU) 256Kbps very old tariff plan )I download the manuals etc, to answer the queries, if possible, search other web sites including Chinese.If lucky we may get a translation ! and during the time delay ,someone else can turn up ,with the correct advise.
Finally, whether I made a mistake is immaterial, as long it does not harm the equipment or computer.!!! If likely to harm, Immediate action may be taken by anybody ( specially moderator/admin)to correct my mistake/.
If the problem is solved FAST for an IBF participant. the credit goes to IBF and its contributers.
Just some stray thoughts, outside the thread, which I request , I may be excused.
