lol, yea, i think we'll just have to help ourselves with the connection in linux... i was chatting with some linux users in bangalore (irc.freenode.net #linux-india) and a couple of guys from bangalore are saying the connection from modem to PC *may be* ethernet (but they havent got the connection yet, expecting it in a week or two 8-P so they're not sure). again i dunno when they say ethernet will it be pppoe or what (DHCP)... another friend of mine (in US) says his ADSL modem provides IP via DHCP (where as a few years ago it used to be some sort of dialup) so no troubles with linux so Im hoping the BSNL equipment is the saem new tech... the same guy mentioned that BSNL's tender for the equipment called for OS-independent operation (mac and linux support), no need for extra installation/drivers... so im hopeful...!
