I am thinking of going in for the new combo offer of MTNL which bundles broadband w/ local telephony.

From the discussions on the list (which I only skimmed over) what I need

to do is connect the adsl modem to my pc using ethernet and configure the card to use DHCP.

Check Firmware Version : V2.00B01T01.ML.20050530. V1.0 does not interact well with Firefox.

How do I check that ? or will the newer modems really be the new version?

Any gotchas that I need to look out for ? They are providing a D-Link modem.

Monitor your usage o/w you may get socked for a hefty sum as "additional usage" charges. "MTNL hai to sahi hai" means whatever they say is right.

Yes, that's something I'll have to keep my eye on. Gkrellm gives good stats for net usage.
