1) typing IN CAPITALS is often considered shouting - we don't want to go deaf!
2) If you have been able to use the modem to access the internet with Windows, you're in with a chance of being able to use it with Ubuntu. If all goes well, Ubuntu will be able recognize it and use it if you have it plugged in.

Be brave and give it a go. If you have any troubles, you can always come back and ask questions.

in windows does internet work as soon as you switch on your modem or do you use some kind of a dialer in windows to connect to the internet?
