I had one Airtel Broadband with Beetel modem a year ago. But their sales
department and IT dept. got me crazy. I documented that interesting story at
http://blog.threeslice.com/

I got my Modem configured with DHCP, so rather manually dialing and
connecting was overcome. Just I had to plug the wire in my system and voila
:)

You can ask your Technician who will visits you to configure it. Request
them to have it DHCP, life would be easy. Also ask for USB cable, if your
Modem has USB connection options too. Ubuntu recognizes the modem, when
interfaced through USB.

Beetel has embedded Linux. just telnet into it, providing usename : admin
and password (you must be knowing it, else ask airtel, thats your device).
you will get intoo the bare sandbox shell.
