The PCQ Linux 2006 :-P linux distro has a version of 'wine' that runs windows softwares directly from the fat32 partition instead of running them within linux.
The advantage is that all the windows system files are available in the windows folder.
So if the user is using a dual boot system then she can get wine setup to run the pacenet dialler on the mounted partition in linux. Never tried it though. If it works, the same dialer and account can be used in win and lin.
Well wine wont help here because Pacenet dialer uses "rasdial" command in windows in its backend. This is not available in linux as far I know. So the dialer gave some weird registry errors last time I tried in wine. The only way to get online with Pacenet in linux is to get an "@linuxuser" account and use rp-pppoe.
Correction, It isnt the only way, Check my other post. my pacenet username is rajeevrk, not rajeevrk@linuxuser (though i kinda like the second one :)
I have been using it for more than a year and it works flawlessly.
Also I wanted to know one thing...24Online client uses pppoe or what? I mean do you get a global IP address when you connect from 24Online clients or is it LAN based like Sify.
