Another Way To Check BSNL Dataone Usage


--> This has been helpful for me and hope will also help you.As I am using Fedora Core6 ,it has been difficult for me to check my account.Then I used the DataFox.But,the safest is IE for Linux.
I know you people are not intrested in using IE in Linux but it really works in checking the Dataone Account safely.
It's actually quite easy ,thanks to some very handy scripts from IEs4Linux. Before you start you'll need to make sure you have wine and cabextract installed:
# yum -y install wine cabextract
$ gtar xzvf ies4linux-2.0.5.tar.gz
$ cd ies4linux-2.0.5
$ ./ies4linux
Welcome, greg! I'm IEs4Linux.
I can install IE 6, 5.5 and 5.0 for you easily and quickly.
You are just four 'enter's away from your IEs.
I'll ask you some questions now. Just answer y or n (default answer is the bold one)
IE 6 will be installed automatically.
Do you want to install IE 5.5 SP2 too? [ y / n ] y
.

IEs 4 Linux installations finished!
To run your IEs, type:
ie6
ie55
ie5
Start the IE and open the famous portal for checking the BSNL Broadband usage and do as you used to do while using Windows.
do as you used to do while using Windows.
Then just download the latest script, extract and run it. The example below is based on version 2.0.5, just adjust the version number as necessary. Please note that you will want to install and run this as your own user, NOT as root. I used the defaults except that I installed all the versions of IE. I do some web development and I always find myself needing to resolve some goofy incompatibilites with older versions of IE.
