The modem driver in suse is DSL-502 Has anyone suceeded in doing this MTNL/Tri band connection on Linux.... If no has anyone spoken to MTNL as to how to get this connection up on linux... The stupid linesmen have no idea at all.....
Nobody in MTNL (or the other ISPs) will have a clue when you say Linux. They will tell u point blank that it wont work, which is total rubbish. I rolled over laughing when the tataindicom zombie wanted to know "yes, but which version of windows linux" to which i replied "linux 2005" and he says "sorry sir we only support windows 2000, we have not yet installed windows linux 2005"
