Now that Zain are back in business with a newer sexier modem and new bundles, for those trying to set them up on Linux, you see them as a Cdrom. To load them as a modem automatically, install the package usb-modeswitch.
For fedora, yum install usb-modeswitch. It switches the modems from cdrom to usb mode. You also need to disable the SIM pin too, I think.
After that, you can connect with the network manager applet just like the saf modem. -- with Regards:
