It’s /dev/ttyUSB0, not /tty/USB0 (in 7th step).. Maybe a typo. You could also try /dev/ttyUSB1 or 2 etc if 0 doesn’t work. Alternatively, you could plug it into a different USB port.

Let me know if that worked..

Sir I followed all the steps above mentioned properly even I have saved the file.
But my system crashes after few minutes of connecting to the net. It connects though.
I am using ubuntu 7.04 what should I do??
