Yeah, I have used Linux and continue to do so happily :P Thats why I am on this mailing list :). I know the procedure. But actually doing it is very different than reading about it ;)
i have bsnl dataone and bsnl dias - i didnt do any configuration. Plugged it in. connected cables. Went to mandrake-system-configure your computer - new network connection. Clicked adsl. clicked pppoe clicked eth1, added username and password clicked finish and started surfing. The machine gets a 61 series or 202 series ip and thats it. Only problem is dns that goes phut now and then so i run my own dns. Last time something had to be redone i was out of town and my 12 year old daughter did the job. btw, before you ask, this is mandrake-linux and not windoze
