hi, i have taken a sify broadband connection. but i
can
connect to it only from windows as it has its
dialer.
how do i connect to it from linux.
Visit there website without logging in(www.sify.com). This will connect u to there default webpage for
all
the users connected thru lan.Somthing like (http://210.210.4.74:81/downloaddialer.php). There will be a link like "GNU/Linux users click here to download the Sify Broadband client ". Download
this
image and uncompress it and follow the
installation
mentioned in the readme file.

hi!
i too am a subscriber of sify broadband connection and i use sify's client to connect. the client's documentation says that it can be run by a normal user which i found to be untrue. to be able to connect, one is required to be logged in as root. now, i read somewhere that this is insecure. is it true? what could be the solution?
regards, sarfaraz.
