I checked ohphone but it is H323 client. Have you been able to make calls through ohphone? >> What should be server settings etc.? >What server? Are u talking of a sip proxy. I am not sure, it may be proxy or gateway. but there has to be some server where their windows client connects to and passes username and password. I want to know where their windows client connects. I have both SIP client and H323 client with me. But unless I specify where to connect I wont be able to make calls without authenticating. >> I am trying to use dialup account with net telephony activated. >Excuse my ignorance, but are u talking of a 56kbps dialup modem? VSNL not just offers you dialup internet account but also net telephony. I have about 56 hrs of internet left which is equal to about 450Rs. And if I activate net telephony I can use those 450Rs to make calls as well. As I have cable net now I hardly use dialup account so I just wanted to use this account to make calls instead of buying separate cards. Thanks again. Amish.

[OT] Thermal pad / grease...
by Satish Alwani 22 Aug '05

You could look for something known as Arctic Silver 5. But for overheating, you may want to look at the fan speeds of the processor as well and make sure its running at the correct speed. Try cleaning the fan. Arctic Silver 5, is very well known. I am not sure if you will get it here. But you do get other heat sink pastes.I had bought a small can/bottle of silica gel/heat sink paste compound a long time ago. Dont remember where. Satish

No problems at all with mozilla, FF, Konqueror or lynx (only used lynx for reading something on the modem). Debian sarge. Once u configure the modem and ask it to update the settings, u need to rerun your dhclient unless u have configured the modem to dispense a static ip to your box.With dynamic ip i experienced something similiar. Since i had planned to use static ip anyway, i did not check further, and i cant see the link between the problem and dhcp. Maybe it's the routes. I am clueless about IEeek tho. rgds jtd

MTNL broadband
by sherlock＠vsnl.com 22 Aug '05

I had one of my clients install MTNL ADSL broadband 256kbps. It has been up for about 2 months. So far it is working very well and has had almost zero outages. It has worked far far better than i had expected and beats any of the private isps. The bandwidth varies between 220 and 224kbps. With occasional drops to 216kbps. The dns is sloow but not a problem with a local caching dns.The MTNL engineers were very enthusiastic and spent several hours learning how to set up the dlink adsl modem.Apparently dlink / mtnl dont train their people. Any one with any more experiences before we can recommend it to all. rgds jtd

I have MTNL TriBand out of their Khar(W) xchg. As you said it is good when it works but I have experienced a few outages and was not able to get thru to their support. On the positive side, during the aftermath of 26/7, my ADSL service was unaffected though my landline on the same wire pair was OOS for 7 days. If your clients can live with some outages then I guess it is a cost effective solution. If you have the luxury of a Linux server, then use bind, dhcpd on it rather than on the DSL modem. As for support, I got to know the linesman responsible for the neighborhood. Thru his chain of command I am able to get some support. I have found the engineers at Khar are quite knowledgeable about IP networks and were helpful. Regarding the 502T modem, I ran into a couple of weird behaviors: 1. Need MSIE to program port forwarding rules! I cannot not program any port forwarding rule using Firefox (Linux and Windoze) or Konqueror. 2. When the config pages are accessed with Firefox, some of the icons on the various pages do not load; over a period of 10-12 days it's DNS relay would stop working and withing 2-3 days thereafter it would stop working completely. Only a hard reset of the unit would bring back it's functionality. DLink was not able to resolve the issues over the phone. Finally, I took the unit to DLink Tech. support center @ Malad West. The tech. support came back and said nothing was wrong with my unit, that she was able to program a whole bunch of port forwarding rules. When I asked her what browser did she use - the answer was MSIE! I brought it back and using MSIE I found that the config pages play much better with MSIE than Firefox - wierd. Anyone else experienced similar behavior with DLink 502t? -- Arun Khan Linux is like a wigwam - no gates, no windows, apache inside

I > touched the heat sink to confirm the temperatures were indeed high. So the heat sink is not disspating heat. If it was working well earlier It means the fan has slowed down. Or U are overclocking If not u need better heatsink / faster airflow / lower ambient. Put a fan in the box. > So the temperature sensor is not malfunctioning.

Thermal grease will reduce thermal resisitance between the processor and the heatsink. This will raise the temp of the heatsink and lower the die temp by a few percent points. rgds jtd
