The Hindu Business Line : Configuring Internet connection

I bought a new PC with internal modem. For the time being I do not plan to go in for broadband connection. I would like to instead opt for the free dial-up connection provided by BSNL. Please tell me how I configure this. (I already have a BSNL landline connection.)

Please first make sure that the modem is already installed and shows in the "Device Manager."(To check this, click Start - Run - devmgmt.msc).

BSNL provides free dialer for Netone - Account less Internet Access. You can download it and install it from http:// netonechn.bsnl.co.in/NetOne.exe (805 KB). The next step is to register your telephone number in the BSNL Web site. Dial using following information from netone or any dialer. - Dial No : 172222 - Username: netone - Password: netone Once it is connected, open Internet Explorer and go to http:// netonechn.bsnl.co.in/registration/ and Fill up the Registration Form. Users other than those in Chennai will need to refer to the following URL for the respective cities: http://www.bsnl.co.in/service/ cities_cli.htm. (The above registration may also be done through any Internet connected machine well in advance by using the above URL.)

Once you have successfully registered, please disconnect the existing connection in the system tray. In netone dialer, henceforth, your username should be your telephone number and the password the one you registered with netone site and the dial number is 172222. For more information, please refer http:// netonechn.bsnl.co.in/ If you have any problem, you can call the BSNL Help desk #1500/1957. Since this supports only up to 56 kpbs, it is advisable to go for broadband, 2 Mbps @ Rs 250 a month.
