    Kiran,

     

    I too am working on the same sort of thing on another Linux project right now.   These modems have two different modes of operation.  Initialy, when connected, they apear as a mass storage device.  This is so when they are issued to a user, he merly has to stick it into his (Wine dos) machine and the drivers are installed imediatly if he has not previously inserted it into his computer.  From that point onwards, the drivers that are installed will do whats called in the Linux world a usb_modeswitch.  Look up usb_modeswitch.  This utility can cause the modem to disconnect and re-connect as a CDC-MODEM device with new product ID.  You need a couple of things to make this work.  Research udev for auto detecting and dispatching operations on detection of a new USB device.  You will need usb_modeswitch.  You will also need pppd and wvdial to complete the packages.  You will also need the appropriate USB-SERIAL drivers for the modem after you usb_modeswitch it.  Good luck amd please report back what you find during your journey!
