Hi.
Almost not entirely off-topic, I would like to show you the Cables/L2TP
configuration script.
Currently it fits only Ubuntu Linux, but would support further Linux
distros, as soon as I get some feedback from users.
I want to bring this configurator to your attention, as it should do the
following:
1. Ease the L2TP configuration step for technically capable Linux users
(they could have done that themselves, but it saves time)
2. Allow non-technical Linux users, or people who are members of the
general public (and they can have Internet connection, and Linux,
right?) to connect to Cables in Israel.
My dream for this script is for it to be available from HOT site for the
benefit of all Linux cable users.
I need more testers. I don't think that "it works fine for me" is, by
any means, sufficient.

Feel free to comment in the page directly, or post here (although I tend
to check this mailing list less often...)
Thanks!

Hi,
I found that even with Bezeq Beinleumi, which were giving non dialer
account, I needed to spend 3 days barking on Hot and them.
Hope I will have your experience next time.

Hi all,
First, apologies to those on the other lists I'm posting this to. I'm so
excited I had to tell everyone :)
It appears that someone somewhere is listening to what we need, and doing
something about it.
This morning I had a local customer who is not technically inclined enough
to set up their own VoIP router, so I went over there to do it for them.
They are an older couple with an older PC and no real idea how it all
works. Their adult son had set them up and is out of the country at the
moment.
So I went there, together we phoned their ISP, 012, to tell them we were
installing a new router. The tech on their end said to set the router to
"Obtain IP address automatically", and call HOT with the confirmation number
they gave us, in order to change to an account that doesn't need a dialer.
We phoned HOT, gave them the confirmation number, and it just worked.
This is a HUGE change from a few years ago, when I had to call and explain
to the customer service rep what I wanted to do, who couldn't imagine why
anyone would need an account without a dialer. Then I had to wait a week
for HOT to set up MPLS, and spend hours and hours on the phone with level
after level of customer support and technicians to make sure it actually got
done.
Israel has entered the modern age! Yay!
I realize this isn't directly linux-related, but it's certainly relevant to
those of us not running windows and our ability to get what we need from the
service providers who've locked us out in the past.
