RE: [LI] Connecting to MTNL with Linux!

[Rajkumar Andrews <shibumi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Rahul!
I've been using an MTNL connection from Delhi from Feb99 onwards.  My linux 
box connects with mtnl at the first ring (99.9% of the time) and remains 
connected - no problems.  VSNL connection stalls at various times.  There is 
NO NEED of any special settings when you use mtnl because they have PAP 
authentication.  This means that you feed in the username and password into 
the relevant field of KPPP and make other settings as you deem appropriate 
(pause between redial, etc etc) and fire it up.
If you have RedHat6.1 (6.0 too) you could use linuxconf from the bashprompt to 
do the same thing.
Have fun!
RKA
