1. Open a Terminal.

2. Type in the command sudo pppoeconf in the terminal and hit enter.

3. Provide the information required by the program.

4. Program will now ask for your username. So type in your BSNL username and click ok.

5.Now the program will ask you for the password. Type in the password in the space provided and click on OK.

6. Program will ask you for some settings. Accept the default values.

Now your BSNL Dataone Broadband connection is configured on Ubuntu Linux.

To connect to internet type the command pon dsl-provider and to disconnect type in the command poff dsl-provider.
