Micronet ADSL Modem setup
by John Marder 24 May '05

24 May '05

Hi! I use FC3 at home and I have taken a Touchtel/Airtel DSL Connection. The trouble is that I want to use my Micronet USB ADSL Broadlink SP3302 Modem in Linux. This modem comes with drivers only for Windows. I checked the manufacturer's website. Though they want their products to work with Linux, they donot support Linux(??). I have also checked the eciadsl Linux driver page. No mention of Micronet's products over there either. This modem connects directly to the USB port and does not go through an Ethernet card. Can you help me use this modem in Linux? What do I need to do? Thanx John

[OT] - Linux Book for beginners
by Pillai, Gishu R (GE Energy) 12 May '05

12 May '05

Hi, Don't know if this is old news... Just snagged a book off the shelves.. Linux Bible 2005 - Chris. Negus. (I got it for rs.440) I'm just about to finish the 2nd chapter. so far so good ... not ready to comment on the book yet. But the killer thing is that the book comes with a DVD + CD ( the list as far I could see) DVD - Knoppix (bootable), RedHat FC 2, Slackware, SUSE LiveCD CD - Damn Small Linux (bootable - a knoppix variant), Debian Sarge Knoppix rocks! Yesterday was the historic day that I heard an mp3 play from linux + the sweet thing was that I was running linux off a Disc. No partitioning, no installation woes. "It simply worked !!!" I'd recommend this for someone who is just trying out Linux for the first time and doesn't want to "Initialize" his HDD Thanks, Gishu Pillai

I have big hopes for Indian manufacturing > sector. We already produce high quality goods You must be joking. The goods that we produce are actually at least 6 to 10 yrs obsolete crap. Most of the manufacturers (including the Phoren ones) completely ignore the standards prevalent in their parent countries. Most of the products we export are due to e nvironment advantages (basmati rice, mangoes, shrimp) which have ZERO tech inputs, clothes because cotton and hence upstream goods are made here with cheap labour, and highily customised products / services which require individual attention to get some performance. Nothing that we export is because of quality - imo exception being art (religion, music, dance etc). > but we just need to > work on the pricing factor and we'll be all set :) To have quality and cost effective manufacture we require massive infrastructure which would take atleast 20 yrs (and that is a very very charitable estimate) to reach the same level of say Japan today. We require total removal of government messing in business. We require total change in the political landscape (changing majority wins to proportional representation). Not to mention other baseline requirements like education, sanitation etc. We are where we are because most of our infrastructure was built by the brits (for their own ulterior purposes) otherwise we are about as great as Ghana (organise your gang, raid a diamond mine, mine diamonds until the next gang fills u with lead) or Yemen (10 mile trek for water) yawn same old story yr after yr. rgds jtd
