Reply to :- Hi, Has anyone succeeded in setting up pacenet internet on ubuntu or fedora?
Well first of all I must tell you something about pacent if your friend has just gone for a new connection.Pacenet is one of the worst Companies (forget that its an ISP) i have ever seen in terms of Customer Service and can u believe that the situation was so frustrating that I actually had to meet the managing Director to solve my regular disconnection problems, even then the problem still persists.Well the list is actually very long and trust me the day MTNL starts giving an unlimited download for 24 hours ill rush to the nearest exchange.Now coming to your question well 1.) First of all you will need to call up pacenet and ask them for a Linux account(which initially they will not agree, and if they deny then please post it )well after that you should also ask for the DNS addresses cause they are required 2.) Now you will need to install Rpppoe RPM i.e (Roaring penguin point to point over ethernet) that's the protocol that ISP's use to give you a account. 3.) Now on the konsole type "adsl-setup" to setup your account 4.) Now to connect type "adsl-connect" and bingo open up firefox and enjoy !!!!!!

All this is known to the OP. He doesn't want to ask for a new account...
Well one person got it to work on Mac without getting a linux ID, though they insisted on getting a linuxuser ID. You will need to compile the program given here http://www.geocities.com/emailmandar/password.c. http://www.geocities.com/emailmandar/password.cIt will give you a ascii value of the password. Well she needs to give you her password. Run the password against this program, it will give you an ascii value that you will have to use as password with the linux dialer. That will show them that you are connected from windows though you're not. But, don't even tell tech support that you are using linux. Well to make things simpler I will give you what we did as far as I know He saw this blog where some info is given - http://mndar-info.blogspot.com/2005/11/finding-your-encrypted-pas_1132291062.... http://mndar-info.blogspot.com/2005/11/finding-your-encrypted-pas_113229106271911657.htmlThen he made me download and compile this program http://www.geocities.com/emailmandar/password.c. http://www.geocities.com/emailmandar/password.cgcc -o password password.c (I know you know gcc and stuff way better then me but I am just the steps I took) then we ran his password against it password acb It gave an ascii value that we used as the dialer password. I hope that I was clear enough and it helps you solve the problem.
