The PCQ Linux 2006 :-P linux distro has a version of 'wine' that runs
windows softwares directly from the fat32 partition instead of running
them within linux.
The advantage is that all the windows system files are available in the
windows folder.
So if the user is using a dual boot system then she can get wine setup
to run the pacenet dialler on the mounted partition in linux. Never
tried it though. If it works, the same dialer and account can be used in
win and lin.
Well wine wont help here because Pacenet dialer uses "rasdial" command in
windows in its backend. This is not available in linux as far I know.
So the
dialer gave some weird registry errors last time I tried in wine.
The only way to get online with Pacenet in linux is to get an
"@linuxuser"
account
and use rp-pppoe.
Correction, It isnt the only way, Check my other post. my pacenet
username is rajeevrk, not [EMAIL PROTECTED] (though i kinda like the
second one :)
I have been using it for more than a year and it works flawlessly.
Also I wanted to know one thing...24Online client uses pppoe or what?
I mean do you get a global IP address when you connect from 24Online
clients
or is it LAN based like Sify.
