Ok I haven't played with anyof the devices but one of my frnd got it working but it was Tata device.. Here is what I suggested himm.. It might work..

1'st command is for Ubuntu and 2nd for Mandriva

sudo apt-get install wvdial 

urpmi wvdial

Now you can edit /etc/wvdial.conf but before that try getting settings for modem..Use this incase its not detected by lsusb

dmseg

This will give you your modem product code and vendor id .. Once you got it from lsusb/dmesg do modprobing

modprobe usbserial vendor=0x<vendor idhere> product=0x<product id here>

Now run this to create wvdial.conf

wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf

Now add these

[Modem0]

Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0

Baud = 115200

SetVolume = 0

Dial Command = ATDT

Init1 = ATZ

FlowControl = Hardware (CRTSCTS)

[Dialer bsnl]

[B]Username = <your username>

Password = <your password>[/B]

Phone = #XXX //Enter the Number

Stupid Mode = 1

Inherits = Modem0

Now run wvdial

wvdial bsnl

I don't know if it will work or not as I have tried this with Tata not sure if it works with Reliance and BSNL.. But it should as the working is more or less same..
