Need some help with sms related project
by Jai Vora 17 Oct '08

17 Oct '08

Hello, Im a comp sci student from Mumbai . I need some help with regards to a project im planning to do . The project involves an application on the server side which records orders made by a user . A user can send his order details by sending an sms to a particular number . When the order is received, the system sends a confirmation sms back to the user. I indend to develop the backend system on Linux platform using PHP . But i have no idea as to how the sms communication part would work . I have heard of some open source sms gateway packages like Kannel, but dont have exact idea of how it can be applied in the above scenario . Will this involve purchasing a service from some wireless operator ? . Any helps or tips as to how the above system can be implemented would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Hey guys, Had seen a mail on this list a while back about someone being able to use their connection under Windows but not under Linux. Well, I looked into it. Seems like they are looking at the TTL values in the packets. I have described it here http://mndar.phpnet.us/tutorials/Tips_Tricks/ttl.html http://www.geocities.com/emailmandar/ttl.html -Mandar Joshi ________________________________ Have you been here yet ? http://mndar.phpnet.us

[Cross Post] Ubuntu Getting Strong On Servers?
by Swapnil Bhartiya 16 Oct '08

16 Oct '08

I trust most of the friends are aware of this. There has been a lot of doubts over using Ubuntu on servers. But recently Wikimedia and Internet Achieve have started to migrate to Ubuntu servers. I guess this will build confidence in those who want to use Ubuntu on servers.

I was merely suggesting an > alternate to "rm -fr ~/.wine"; if you have a space between ~ > and /.wine then you have blown away your whole home directory. For those who fear unwanted spaces sneaking in-between the commands, GUI based file manager is preferred. This is one of the case where I suggest using a GUI tool while working on GNU/Linux platform. Konqueror, Nautilus etc. are good tools to remove selected files and directories from the file system. If Xwindow is not installed on the system, then mc can be used instead. They also allow recovery of deleted files as deletion usually means automagically moving them to your trash folder. Raghu

(ACD FotoSlate) By default wine installs software in ~/.wine/drive_c. Just delete the directory ~/.wine if you don't want to use any existing wine run applications. Running following command from the console should be good enough for this. rm -r ~/.wine WARNING: Make sure that there is no white spaces within ~/.wine Raghu

Suggestions needed for Wireless Router
by Pradeepto Bhattacharya 13 Oct '08

13 Oct '08

Hi, I need a wireless router for network setup at my home. Basically for internet connectivity for 2 laptops and my desktop and for occasional other extra devices with wifi capabilities if and when required. Now what I want to know is - what would be good wifi router which could work across a 2 BHK flat and also work when the laptop/device is in an opposite flat, separated just by a passage and walls. The passage width is not more than couple of meters. I am looking at this [1] model, any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
