It leads me to believe that each PTT uses some "tweaks" in the ADSL2+ technology they have rolled out. You may have to figure out the MTNL tweaks. BTW, has anyone tried the DLink 502T on BSNL's DataOne service? They seem to be using some other brand modem/router. > Please let me know if someone has tried this and which bridge/converter > was used and how much does it cost? Please do post your solution if you find one. -- Arun Khan Linux is like a wigwam - no gates, no windows, apache inside -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
