1. There are several plans, related to the monthly download size:
Some confusion here. VSNL / Tata Indicom is now what Dishnet DSL has been
rebranded to, and they've been offering 512K ADSL for quite some time at
vastly inflated rates - these are starting to come down though.
That uses PPPoA (PPP over ATM) rather than PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet).
PPPoE is much easier to support on linux but for PPPoA you'd need a usb
modem or a router type device.
VSNL also was, and is, offering their DIAS service, which I think uses
CorDECT from Prof Jhunjunuwala / TENET at IITM, which basically sounds
like a cut down version of ISDN the last time I checked.
Which is this?
