Connecting via PPPoE

This is especially useful for those who use a username and password to connect to their broadband cable/ADSL connection (such as that provided by BSNL, Airtel and Tata Indicom). For this you need to install pppoeconf package and run the command.

# apt-get install pppoeconf
# pppoeconf

Alternatively, if you are using mepis you can configure by going to Kmenu --> Internet --> Connection --> ADSL/PPPoE configuration.
