usb modem

i have recently got a usb modem (made by huawei for reliance communications in india). the modem self-installs and shows as being connected. however, i cannot get into the internet. my suspicion is that the os does not recognise the installation as a means for connecting to the internet.
i shall be most grateful for any light on the problem.

ps. this is my first posting to the forum and i hope it is in order

Hi,
I guess you have to enter somewhere your internet service provider login/password and "connect" to the internet.

Which internet subscription do you have ? DSL ? Dial-up ?

G'day ampuri and welcome to the forums.

First question are you certain it is Mac compatible as most USB modems are not? Looking at their home page USB modem specs I could find state compatible with Windows 2000 and XP only.
