Some days back I had first hand experience of installing the mtnl adsl modem on a windows machine. It comes with a usb as well as a LAN port. The customer was using it in usb. Since the service was down, someone before me had already done some changes to accomodate a local cable net, so I had some problem understanding the installation as the manual talks about going to 192.168.0.1 which was not happenning. The mtnl guy told me to uninstall the driver and reinstall it and thats it. I enquired about the LAN port to which he replied, that would make setup more simple. Then I dropped the L bomb to which he replied, no it won't work. I feel if there is a LAN port, then as an instant always on LAN connection with no login, it should work in linux too. The usb driver was reinstalled but the usb light would just not come on even after restarting the system. Then the modem's power jack was removed and reconnected. This initialised the modem and the usb lights were on. I got to do a little surfing and that was it, no more. On calling up mtnl again they said that there were complaints from other's too and they are looking into the matter.
Always keep the good old dialup as a backup.

The LAN port is to connect the ADSL modem to a hub or a switch. For example, consider having this kinda setup. A house with a 2Mbps ADSL, unlimited connection(wow thats a dream!). Anyway, you have like 5-6 computers...say a 2 Linux boxes, 2 Macs, 2 Winbloze machines. Now, you would like to share the internet connection between them. Now, wouldnt it be simpler if you could connect the ADSL modem directly to a switch rather than, connecting it to a router(old computer) and then to a switch / hub? Thats exactly why that LAN port is for!

You mean the same modem was used to connect to a different ISP?

Amen to that.
