[OT] New Wireless Broadband USB Modems.
by Rony 30 May '09

30 May '09

Hello, Reliance and Tata Indicom have now come out with USB modems that provide broadband speeds theoretically upto 3.1 Mbps in major cities with National low speed roaming in other areas. A client of mine told me that his friend uses a Reliance one and clocked upto 1.5 Mbps on it. Reliance promo emails mention peak hour speeds between 512K and 1Mbps. Tata also provides a wireless router that talks wirelessly to the tower and provides a wired+wireless LAN for the office. MTNL and BSNL broadband are getting competition. Great! Now use your note/netbooks for video conferencing on the move. No more linesman telling you that your modem or wiring is bad. Is this the 3G thing by the back door before the licenses are issued or something in between, before 3G makes a big bang? Will 3G bring in something even newer? -- Regards, Rony. GNU/Linux !

[OT] Triband clocks 22Mbps.....No kidding.
by Rony 29 May '09

29 May '09

Hello, Today at one place I was amazed to see triband going out of control. DVDs getting downloaded in one hour, large files in minutes. It was an unlimited 512 Kbps scheme but was overclocking. In between it would come down to 600 to 700 KBytes per second, otherwise it was above 1 MBytes per sec. It was the AT&T server connection (username@a). While this utopia is in bloom since a week or two and may last a few days more, It shows that our telephone lines are capable of giving 22 Mbps which I actually saw in the new D-Link modem stats. Upload 1 Mbps and download max. 22 Mbps. Seeing is believing. Gosh! MTNL when will you open your tap to full? We could be on a virtual LAN and share files with each other just like the cablewalas do in some areas. -- Regards, Rony. GNU/Linux ! No Viruses No Spyware Only Freedom.

Hi, Due to immense community pressure I suppose. They have replaced the string "unlimited" with 10GB in all their plans. http://www.rcom.co.in/Communications/rcom/RNetconnect/netconnect_broadband_… -- Regards Pankaj<http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/g/george_bernard_shaw.html>Jangid http://jangid.freeshell.org

Need help in selecting a Server - Neelesh
by Neelesh Gurjar 29 Apr '09

29 Apr '09

Hello, We need to get server with CentOS 5.1 for Panvel Ashram. My requirements are: 1. CPU and Mboard should capable of atleast 16G RAM. 2. CentOS5.2 (32 bit) with PAE kernel should work with it. Please suggest which server will be better for me? After searching on net, I found AMD Opteron Second generation CPUs are better choice. But I am not sure wether it supports 32bit OS. Please help. -- Regards NeeleshG LINUX is basically a simple operating system, but you have to be a genius to understand the simplicity

But I am not sure wether it supports 32bit OS. Hi Neelesh, I have tested Centos 5 32 bit on AMD Opteron recently, and found it to be working well. However, I had some problems getting Xen to work on it for virtualising a Windows server on the same box. So long as you are installing an OS directly on the bare metal, you should have no problems with it. You will need to consider an Inventec or Iwill server motherboard, as those are the only brands I found in the assembled server market for AMD. For the problem I faced, I had to ultimately opt for Intel Quad core Xeon processor and motherboard. Regards, Ninad
