[ug-hosug] connecting to internet

[Raju Alluri]

BSNL offters a PPPoE service and you need to configure your system for that.
It is very simple to do it on OpenSolaris.

The following post explains the steps:

Note that if you have installed recent opensolaris, then you don't need to install the packages mentioned there. They are already part of your system.

Let me know if you end up with any issues.
