OT:Good Dialup service
by िऩऩाद 12 May '06

12 May '06

Hi I have a broadband service of Exatt. I have it since last 6 months. It is a monthly service(per month payment +unlimited usage) from a local dealer with a makeshift office who provided internet connection for various ISP's. In the last 4 months there has been too much downtime. Sometimes when you need to check mails or just get on to IRC or chat with relatives it is down. Sometimes the service is down for 3+ days.Contacting the person does not give any plausible answers. I had taken a broadband connection with the thought that I would get a always on connection. Also it would be easier to download distros through bittorrent which I have done in the past months. But after that I realised that I do not download distros everyday. So my usage was limited to downloads of distros and other stuff and surfing/chat/irc/email Although I am continuing with the existing broadband for another month I want to have a dialup for those intermittent downtimes. What are my options. 1.MTNL (already have a phone and need to connect modem and dial have done it earlier from windows and linux both) 2.Reliance(somebody in office suggested it have made an inquiry) 3.Tata Indicom(have used it at my friends house and speeds are ok for normal activities) 4.Any other suggestions and alternatives are welcome Thanks िऩऩाद बापट

[OT] Reliance fixed line username/password.
by Nadeem M Khan 11 May '06

11 May '06

Hi. I'm using Reliance fixed line phone for Internet access with wvdial on RHEL 3. I've had no problems with it till they changed the dial up number from 30335151 to 172479. Now it dials all right, but refuses to authenticate me. I'm using a blank username and blank password as before. Has anyone managed to connect using the new number? Their CC ofcourse "have not been informed about any other changes except the dial up number." Thanks in advance. Regards, NMK.

I think, we'll have opportunities sometime later, and we would be fascinated by having a combination of feeling; of what we have missed out! ;) ____________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Aah..nothing special as such....I would have to read more to do "cool" stuff, I would be doing it after my university examinations end.... If I am attending, can I just listen to what others speak?..I gain a piece of knowledge from everyone who would speak...and I can build upon that later..... __________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Frugalware:automounting/unmounting media
by Nikhil Marathe 10 May '06

10 May '06

I have installed frugalware 0.4 and installed hal/dbus/pmount/udev. Whenever I plug in a usb stick or a cd KDE(3.5) pops up a dialog but is unable to mount it. Also no entry is created automatically in /media eg. /media/sda1. What is to be done to enable auto mounting/unmounting. its ok if KDE's media:/ protocol cannot access it but it should be automatically mounted in /media and it shouldn't need a fstab entry. Thanks Nikhil -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In a world without walls and fences, who needs windows and gates ------------------------------------------------------------------------
