Hi everone I am pavithran
I got a connection to BSNL broadband by paying advance amount of Rs 1,450 thats around 30$ .
The monthly charges are 500Rs /month and 100 Rs/month .
But the Biggest fault in the connection is
Data transfer Limit 1GB
And one more thing that guy who installed me Bsnl broadband doesnot now how to do it in Linux .He told that it works onall the Operating Systems of Windows Platform but when it comes to Linux The answer is Flat NO
Ok atleast install in my windows xp so that I will try installing BSNL Broad band on my own on Linux Operating system .He installed successfully in windows xp and left.

What I did was I searched in google highliting the terms
bsnl broadband google that gave some very good results
I solved my problem and I am successfully running my fedora core 3 in bsnl broadband.Well to everyone who checks this blog may face the same problems so I give my solution ofcourse its a copy but I guess this would be helpful
An rpm called RP-PPPOE is needed .
use the command #adsl-setup
Give ur username and password when prompted
Type #/sbin/ifup ppp0 to to bring up your xDSL link
now type #adsl-startTo start BSNL Broadband
now type #adsl-stopTo stop BSNL Broadband
Dont forget that the above 3 steps are to be repeated ..
Well hope U might have solved the problem but I may not explain well so there are some quick links
