Connecting BSNL broadband in Linux

The BSNL Broadband uses PPPOE (Point to Point Protocol Over Ethernet). Therefore, if you can set this up in your Linux system, you can easily use your broadband connection.
And it is indeed very safe to access the internet from Linux as it is not so easily infested by viruses as is a Windows system.

Basic requirement: Connect your modem with ethernet cable and not with USB (because for broadband, USB stands for Unsuitable for Broadband) :-
______________________________________________________________
$ sudo pppoeconf
password:

to start the connection:
sudo pon dsl-provider

to stop the connection:
sudo poff
______________________________________________________________

This process should work for any connection using the PPPOE.

World of Freedom

Welcome to the world of freedom.

       Linux is an operating system, almost same as commonly known Microsoft OS(as windows xp, vista)
but with a twist. This is an open source OS providing greater security and stability to users. As it is 'Open Source' so you don't even need to buy it. Just download it and it is all yours.
       For Ubuntu(Do you know what Ubuntu means?? It means "Humanity to others") Linux visit the ubuntu tab.
