Connecting to VSNL has been on this list many a times before.. you could
check the archives for a battery of solutions.
Alternatively one solid source of information is Atul's fantastic write up
on this issue in one of the back issues of PCQ.
You could surf over to the PCQ site , www.pcquest.com
albeit temporarily on Windows, download (save locally) the writeup (Check the
Linux section.. it is called "Online with VSNL", if my mem works OK) and you
shopuld be up and running.

However, if you have your modem settings OK, KPPP should run fine !
Have you setup KPPP ? The chat script in KPPP? What is your timeout ?
Enable the "Show Log" option in KPPP and tell us more if you
are still unable.

Hope to see you here riding Linux
Have a great time !
