We've had reports of websites that don't work with Linux. Most could be used by setting a suitable UserAgent string but this one is extreme.
BSNL is India's national telecommunications utility and ISP. The same one that apparently injected HTTP packets to take newly authenticated users to one of their advertising sites as described in this LQ thread.
Now they have introduced a new site where ADSL customers can review their usage. A useful facility when the cost of exceeding monthly transfer is punitive and average incomes are low. But it is not useful for everyone. It is not useful for Linux users. The currently supported OS and browser combinations are "Internet Explorer on PC" and "Safari and FireFox on Mac".
I tried with Firefox, Opera and SeaMonkey on Linux. In Firefox I tried a variety of UserAgent strings but none of them got the logon page to work.
Technically speaking, how can this be happening? If Firefox works on Mac (IDK which versions of either) why would it not work on Linux? Where/how might the OS get involved in a browser rendering HTTP/HTTPS data?
Here's how the three browsers behaveFirefox with JavaScript turned off: the site displays "Scripting is used to manage data interactions between the Siebel server/Web Server and the User Interface. This requires JavaScript to be enabled in the web browser". Firefox with JavaScript enabled and SeaMonkey: both display the URL SWEHo=selfcare.sdc.bsnl.co.in but go into an infinite wait. Opera doesn't display anything.
For the curious who would like to explore, the URL is [URL]
I am having Dell Inspiron Laptop with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04 installed in it. It is not connecting to network using Mobile.bluetooth. here are the informations. Nokia A110 - Classic BSNL Connection.

I have bsnl broadband connection in dual mode in windows no problem but in ubuntu I cant create a broadband connection. I want to connect in dial up mode.
I have ZTE's 8700 800M EV-DO modem provided by BSNL. It worked like charm on my uBuntu 10.04 LTS. I simply used it through 'mobile broadband' connection in uBuntu. However, few days ago, I had connection problems and technicians from BSNL resolved it. The connection works just fine in Windows 7, but now it does not work in uBuntu.
Now the dialer simply tries to connect and gives up after some time. I've even tried downloading the ZTE's dialer from the official site, but it does not work (connects, but does not work; shows 0kbps all the time).
What is the recommended way of fixing this? If more information is needed, let me know. I just love to surf the net through uBuntu.
