I am somewhat dismayed by the fact that an external 3g modem has a how-to tutorial, while the Qualcomm 9121 3g internal modem has no such help.
The Qualcomm 9121 3g modem is built into my Acer Aspire One ZG5. I was under the impression that kuki was specially made for the AA1.
Does any 3g modem, other than the Qualcomm 9212, come built into the Acer Aspire One ZG5?
Apparently, the majority of AA1 ZG5 users are complacently happy with Windows.
I am not one.
Can someone please walk me through the steps I need to take in order for me to utilize my AA1 3g modem?

"...The good news is that the modem is recognized! The carrier detected!
But FireFox fails to connect to any url...
What terminal commands can I issue to verify 3G connection?

Thank you all once again for your time & expertise in bringing such a cool OS to us!

@schizo: You cant put it that way. Kuki was made for a AAO with no internal modem, problem is that as a developer you need access to the hardware to make it work. The same goes for connect scripts for every country, telephone company and so on. If nobody has been there before, somebody has to get there feeds wet and hack some commands together to get a connection.

Basically. If the modem is recognized eg. that ls /dev/ttyUSB* do lists some devices - then is should be possible to establish a connection. On the other hand we cant give a step by step guide as it depends on which commands your modem needs to connect to your provider.

Thank you for taking the time to help me understand @ Mr-Manor.

I apologize for my impatience.

But did you try opening a terminal and type the command above?
Start -> Terminal

In the black terminal window, type ls /dev/ttyUSB* and press return.
If you get at least one device like /dev/ttyUSB0 as a result, then there is a good chance we can get it working using a few tools and google.

Sorry for the delay... Surf's been up.
Ok...
When I invoke lsusb at CLI it shows the Qualcomm, Inc. device as follows:
~
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 05c6:9212 Qualcomm, Inc.
~

ls /dev/ttyUSB* returns the following:
/dev/ttyUSB0

When I run the 3G script from the kuki.me site, the xterm window shows carrier detected, Starting pppd at (current time & date)
Pid of pppd: 4765
Using interface ppp0
Disconnecting...
The PPP daemon has died: A modem hung up the phone.

(exit code=16)

Then the modem continues to attempt connection, but always fails.
