Hi,
install the program wvdial (highly recommended) (should be on PCQ
CD or definitely on April CHIP CD) or get it from
http://www.worldvisions.ca/wvdial/ (use your friend's PC)
Then run
wvdial /etc/wvdial.conf
as root after switching on the modem and connecting it. Edit
/etc/wvdial.conf
remove the semi-colons and put your phone-number, username and password.
put 'Dial Command = ATDP' if you have pulse dialing
put 'Init3 = ATM0' if you have a pet parrot
now type 'wvdial' and connect to vsnl automagically.
In case you can connect but cannot access websites maybe there is a
problem with the nameserver. enter in your /etc/resolv.conf
search vsnl.net.in
nameserver 202.54.9.1 202.54.1.30
retry wvdial. you should be able to connect.
if you want a graphical tool use kppp which installs to the kde desktop.
Remember to use terminal based login or script based login (not PAP or
CHAP)
best wishes,
Indraneel
