BSNL does not provide any wires to connect Laptop .
if you have usb port / Lan port on laptop then you
can directly connect it to the modem thru wires .

or if you are interested in getting wireless internet
to Laptop then you would need a wireless router .
it can be taken from BSNL if available or can be
bought from market .

scheduling internet connection can be completely
automated if you have a modern pc with auto power
on and auto shutdown capabilities (check in BIOS) and
windows xp . utilities are also available for this purpose .

thanks man..but wwhere to look in BIOS ? also i wanted to knwo those utilities which u just mentioned .. can u trell me some sites from where i can download them
thanks in advance

I dont know about BSNL..but Airtel provide both cable (LAN and USB) at the time of installation.

However connection through USB is not preferred..becaused of frequent disconnection problem. I will suggest you to use LAN on both system...and use a HUB/ Switch .
