Hi all,
I am in India and we use a Govt. organisation's Internet connection.
The dialer they provide works(in fact they install only) in Windos XP.
When I asked them the dialer for Linux , they said they cannot provide
such a connection. Is it possible to use wine and have the windos
installer work in Linux? Or is there any other dialer that will
establish connection between my Linux machine and the ISP?
I have Ubuntu Dapper and Vector Linux.
Thanks in advance.
Muthuraman.

Not enough information. IF the provider is providing the connection via say
ppp, then yes, linux can dial and connect with ppp (see for exampel
www.theory.physics.ubc.ca/ppp-linux.html for a step by step procedure for
setting up and debugging such connections.) If they have made their own
proprietary interface, then you are out of luck.
Anyway, ppp and chat are what you need if the first is true.

What's the connection protocol??? We'll never know how to help if you don't
tell us the protocol...

Thanks for the replies.

I do not know how to find the protocol. From the ISP web site I find
that the connection is a PPP connection. I will give a try to Ubuntu
PPP www.theory.physics.ubc.ca/ppp-linux.html a try.
Thanks in advance.
Muthuraman.
