Datacards and GNU/Linux...
by Frederick Noronha 22 Nov '06

22 Nov '06

It would be nice if hackers in the GNU/Linux community could help to spread awareness about data-cards, laptops and GNU/Linux. As you know, data-cards are increasingly becoming a way of getting Net access via your laptop in anywhere, anytime mode. Hence they could have growing relevance. LFY carried an article in its July 2006 issue, offering detailed instructions of how an Airtel Sierra Card can be made to work with GNU/Linux. But, as things stand, many of the cards are unsupported. I tried a ZTE (made-in-China card) with Reliance on Ubuntu, and it just refused to work. Sierra cards are out of stock with Reliance here, I was told, though given alternate information earlier. Airtel says Sierra isn't available, and were offering a Vodafone datacard, which proudly says "Airtel Data card works on Windows 2000/XP/XP Tablet/XP Pro". If you know of any option (keeping in mind that I live in Goa, with limited hardware availability) please share your notes with me. I really need a datacard to get access to mobile computing, specially when travelling.

Since MTNL has a USB option, I wanted to see if it > works through it to avoid buying another card ;-) ``blew up" ? i've only seen that happen due to SMPS/SMPS related problems and once(interestingly to a Sify user) because the CAT 5 coming into his LAN card was ``routed" via his building's lightning rod. The most extensive damaged was of course to his LAN card, his board was too a little parched, but was fully repaired thanks to a genius at Lamington Road. This was in Chembur. i wonder if the same joker did the wiring for you... Regards, - vihan

TriBand plan only for WinXP users?
by Dinesh Joshi 20 Nov '06

20 Nov '06

Hi list, Check out this PDF on MTNL Mumbai's website: http://mtnlmumbai.in/tariff.pdf It lists all the tariff or all possible services that MTNL Mumbai provides. Now scroll down to page 16 ( TriBand ADSL Service ) and check out what is written below TriB T10 plan. It clearly says "Only for WinXP users". What kind of an ISP restricts a particular plan for a particular OS only? Got any clues why have written only for WinXP users? Is anyone using that plan with Linux? Shouldn't we complain to MTNL for such a stupidity? -- Regards, Dinesh A. Joshi

The Talking Book Project
by Rony 20 Nov '06

20 Nov '06

Hello All, I was browsing the rediff site and came across this AV multimedia player that is packed with features and has a 4 GB storage. http://shopping.rediff.com/shop/productdisplay.jsp?prrfnbr=10102619&source=… The cost of the above device is Rs. 4500/- approx. As we know, there is an ongoing project to develop a talking book for visually impaired people and Krish is actively involved in it. I recollect that he is looking for tiny motherboards with on-board CPU and Sound and RAM etc... to make the talking book. Since these boards are not very tiny, cost at least 7000/-, require a separate psu and will further require a cabinet and so on, I was wondering if the device or something similar, mentioned above in the link can be procured from the faceless manufacturers in China, who will simply provide a programmable platform to the brand maker. The software can then be developed for this platform and the result will be a battery operated, cute and sexy product that's hand-held and low cost too. What is the opinion of the experts? Regards, Rony. ___________________________________________________________ All new Yahoo!

Hello, Though I can order (and I have done it), just wanted to know if anyone has a Ubuntu / Kubuntu LIVE CD / Installation CD 6.06 for AMD 64 bit. Preferably CD; DVD would do, though. -- http://foss.in __________________________________________________________ Yahoo! India Answers: Share what you know.
