Hi Gordon and All ,

Thank you very much  rubyinstaller.org groups .  We achieved not only in 
linux, windows too . As per the instructions  from rubyinstaller.org , I 
installed ruby1.8 and devkit .

Then Finally I download win32serial then I followed the instructions in 
Readme from win32serial.zip . Then run the modem.rb sample file .  Now 
the modem is responding correctly .

However after rubyinstaller and devkit,  I can shine in windows as same 
as linux .Soon I am going to write documentations for this .

Greets a lot,
 ashik
