Hello EveryONE

The first (and most important) thing you should tell us is what type of internet connection you use ...

If it is dialup, do you use an Internal or External modem?

I also have the same doubt .. So clarify .. Iam using 56 k internal modem . i use tata indicom also.. which should i use to connect from linux ?
I will also try man wvdial and tell you.

i have a internal modem dishnet connection how to configure it?

Internal modems are usually Winmodems, i.e they are specially design for use with windows and the hardware are incomplete as it can used windows software instead and thus can reduced the price. Work is going on for these modems driver, so search for ur particular modem driver and install it, if u cannot find it, go for a new external modem which will work fine with linux.
