Forget the official Sify client for Linux. I have wasted a considerable
percentage of my youth trying to get that damn script to work. No I kid you
not. I later found this piece of C code, called "Super Sify" or something,
written by a guy called "Bharat Bhushan" or something, which compiled and
seemed to work well (I use the term "work well" loosely, out of
consideration for the fact that for a mere piece of software, written by
mortals, trying to squeeze entire bytes out of the constipated Sify lines is
an impossible task to begin with). Google for "Sify Linux clients" for more
up to date information. Or try using the Official Mac client for Sify. It's
written in Java and is actually cross platform.

Though I would recommend you forget all I said in the previous paragraph and
ditch Sify altogether for a semi decent broadband connection. Seriously. You
can thank me later.
