I am using BSNL evdo service from a long time. I did not switch to better services of Tata,Airtel or Reliance due to some unknown reason (i do not want to disclose :D )
I heard from many sites that BSNL evdo give better speed with linux. I started my mission on EVDO on linux .i got some beautiful information from below link.
http://www.bsnlevdo.in/evdo/setup-bsnl-evdo-usb-modem-in-linux/
i tried , Ubuntu & Fedora , I was not having enough luck.Speed got worsen. I don't know reason?
Also :
- I have to download few 1.5 GB of data as fedora & ubuntu
- Unnecessary, installed Linux in my Laptop (you may try live CD to avoid this)
- Installed number of packages.like wvdial
- Many more tweaks ..
After few more attempts withy tinyCore linux and DSL linux. I tried with Puppy linux.
www.puppylinux.org/
- It took me 20 mins to download current release as a ISO file.
- I made my usb bootable..unetbootin.sourceforge.net
- inserted evdo and usb
- Booted puppy linux from my usb
- clicked on Connect utility
- Choose dial up - anloge modem
- entered my phone number
It has following advantages:
1. All OS in USB only..Nothing changes with you beloved laptop
2. Boots in 5 sec
3. Enjoy a faster OS ..which is all laying in your RAM
Best of Luck..
