Collins,
The Orange modem does something called mode-switching (USB Mode
switching) because it is a switchable USB device. The modem operates
like a flip-flop thus need for a software tool to do the switching
(wvdial does not do this).
Thus, to connect to is, you will need a module called usb_modeswitch, it
is available on http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/.
Also if you want a tool similar to the one set-up in windows, install a
tool called UMTSMon (http://umtsmon.sourceforge.net).
All the best.
Regards,
Aseda OK
