Hi, http://mumbai.mtnl.net.in/helpdesk/gifs/ads/revealad150905.jpg is the URL for looking at the advertisement that may have appeared in local newspapers. However, there's something called as Unlimited Free Uploads. So that means that they are only going to consider the surfing of sites and downloads of software from download.com (or any other site...) and not consider the attachements that are uploaded.... Has anyone gone for this plan...Please let me know.... Also, there are certain things in Triband Shifting charges - Rs. 100 (what's this?) Safety Charges - Rs. 100 (per month) CPE rent - Rs. 80 (agreed) In this plan, (COMBO plan) is 500 the minimum amount or are there any hidden costs. I am a bit confused and have long schedules in colleges with practicals and lectures longing for hours... I need to search the internet to understand certain concepts and study various things and transfer files... So I require a good reliable internet connection Also, is it supported in Redhat Linux 9.0? _____________________________ www.geocities.com/d_rosh2001 __________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Does that mean if someone knows my password (and has DSL enabled on his line), he can misuse my account. What happens if router is attached to normal telephone line but account used is of DSL enabled line. Does it still work? May be MTNL might have activated DSL on all lines but not activated account for that NUMBER. OR other use can be is if my home usage is 350MB(400 scheme) I can use the remaining 50MB at office by changing username/password on router? I do not have MTNL DSL. Can someone who has it, check this? I am planning to get one. There can be uses and misuses of this bug/feature. Amish.

[OT] MTNL DSL - NU plan billing snafu?
by Arun K. Khan 26 Sep '05

26 Sep '05

I got my MTNL bill a few days ago. For the NU Plan the charge is Rs. 590 (unlimited usage 00:00->08:00) plus additional usage charge to the tune of Rs. 6304! My prime time (08:00->00:00) Internet usage pattern has not changed since I got the DSL service in Apr/05. I suspect there is some billing snafu whereby downloads during 00:00->08:00 have also been counted. Another friend of mine, with the NU plan, got a Rs. 14,000 additional DSL usage charge! Both of us are serviced by the Khar(W) CO. I have already complained to MTNL in writing but have not heard from them yet. Anyone on this list experiencing the same? Were you able to resolve it with MTNL? If not, perhaps we can complain to them collectively - pls. contact me off list.

Partly true. The real cause is voice circuits and Govt. revenues. ALL governments take a fat fee from the telcos for voice circuits and in return guarantee them a monopoly. If bandwidth is made cheap voip will wipe out the voice revenue. In fact given the price of copper and huge demand for power, it will be cheaper to rip out the copper signal cable and recast it for power distribution while replacing with optical fibre. U will have instant 1gbps bandwidth. That is what S'pore and Korea have in the pipeline. Ofcourse that would be the end of the telephony companies. In India things are skewed even worse. The copper infrastructure was setup with taxpayers money, on which the DOT (and phone vendors like Bharati telecom, ITI) made insane amounts of money. The government then sold off parts of their equity and pocketed the taxpayers money for such noble purposes as rural telcom. The original players retain the last mile network, in effect being a major stumbling block for other telecos and competing with private companies using public money. The TRAI and telecom mandarins refuse to share their last mile circuits with other service providers and have made it illegal to provide any telecom service without paying licence fees. In the guise of protecting the public the government has effectively held them to ransom, allowing a few players to profit. rgds jtd

[OT] What is keeping us from getting broadband?
by Dinesh Joshi 25 Sep '05

25 Sep '05

Hi, I was just talking with a Swedish friend and I wondered what is keeping India from going broadband? I mean people in foreign countries commonly have 2Mbit connections without download restrictions. My friend is currently studying in a university where he gets to share a 100Mbps 24x7 connection amongst 3 people and the authorities don't care about the downloads, only the uploads :O And he says the fees are included in the university's fees. I personally have logged into his server and downloaded many things, just for fun ^^ and it feels great to download at those speeds from international mirrors! Forget about 100Mbps. A friend in Netherlands has a 8Mbps DSL connection. No restrictions what-so-ever. The cost is very reasonable. In Indian rupees it works out to 1200-1500 bucks. I am not saying that foreign countries are a haven for those who feel the need for speed, rather I am simply saying that the conditions are much better than India. This is a big fact that the internet sucks in India and despite whatever measures our IT / Telecom minister(s) have taken to improve the situation, it hasn't made much of a difference. I still see MTNL DSL being overly priced. Yes, the 200MB / 400MB or whatever limit they put sucks. I can't see any *real* ISPs. Why is it so? Why is it so difficult for them to provide us with fast connectivity? Are the bandwidth prices so high that they cant afford to give us anything better? Are they just lazy? Are they just plain stupid? How are these ISPs "billed"? What are the costs they incurr? I think now TATA, Reliance and other Indian players own major underwater submarine cables, so they should be able to ease the congestion and provide super fast connectivity! What gives here? I read some where that TATA bought Tyco and Tyco's underwater submarine cables' _unlit_ capacity was some Terabits! Reliance purchased FLAG telecom. It too has a huge network and a huge capacity! WTF? India, as a *whole* uses some few hunderd Megabits of capacity and here we have terabits of capacity! Why are lagging behind then? I wan't some answers and I think you guys are best equipped to answer them. Are we really an IT super power? Or are we living a dream? -- Dinesh A. Joshi

MTNL triband
by V.K.Bharadwaj 24 Sep '05

24 Sep '05

Friends, Sharing an observation regarding MTNL triband : During installation, the username (phone number) and password (CA number per phone bill) are supplied into the router and "saved" therein. Whenever switched on thereafter, the router must be automatically supplying the "saved" username and password to authenticate into the MTNL exchange/infra. The user is thus absolved of the need to submit username and password each time it is powered on. I use MTNL triband at home and at office. The MTNL exchanges are 2557xxxx and 2548xxxx respectively. A few weeks ago, my office connection stopped working. >From the symptoms and some investigations, I suspected the MTNL/Dlink502/ADSL router in the office is misbehaving. To confirm my doubts, I took the router from home to office; disconnected the suspect office router; reconnected the home router in the office; connection was working fine ! I logged my complaint on their helpdesk (dial 1504 from an MTNL line). followed up with the local MTNL office, and obtained a replacment for the defective MTNL ADSL router. Food for thought: ---------------- >From my test of swapping my home and office routers with NIL change to username/password (i.e. used my home router as-is in the office), it appears to me that : the MTNL exchange/infra is not verifying username submitted by router against the telecom network's caller-id mechanism. Vulnerablity to misuse apart, I guess the upside is that we now probably have a "roaming" (tri)band(width) Any guesses on "by design" or "by accident" ? --- vkb

The best way to do that is to parse the /proc file system and pick up whatver info u need. As for coding it in perl, it's really a matter of opening these /proc files and using regular expressions to pick what u need. i might have the code u need ...but tahts gonna cost u buddy ;) Hope this helps, -- Naved Kazi

[OT] Spam?
by ASHISH TRADING CO. 18 Sep '05

18 Sep '05

Hi list, I received a particular email from a certain company claiming to do research on "people who use linux". It's ok to do "research" but what got my attention was this particular line: >It would be grest if you could give us some time of your`s.We assure >you that you will not be told to buy anything ....it is just a pure >research for about an hour ...we will be giving you a gift for >attending this group. What "gift" ? "not be told to buy anything" ? Hmm...that seems quite suspicious. From when did *anyone*, in Mumbai, become so benevolent to give out free gifts? I used to receive several telephone calls where I would be invited to a "meeting" for an "hour" at the end of which we would get "gifts". I never attended one but I know they are scams or stupid marketing gimmicks. Apart from that, there are several spelling mistakes, no professional tone and the email is quite sloppily drafted. Could these guys be genuine? or is it just a scam? Looking forward to hearing from the more "experienced" luggers :) Regards, Dinesh.

Research and u visit them??. Strange. Unless they are demoing a desktop or handheld or something. Usually the researcher comes to your office by prior appointment and gives u a fair idea of what he is researching. Even if u have to visit some place for the research u are visited first so that the researcher can ensure that ur profile fits their product target market etc. U will be asked to sign some nda or the other. In the abscence of the above it is most likely to be one of the MLM scams aka kudos, japan life, sherigar etc. etc. If u have not been to one of these do go. It will provide great insites into the pschology and logistics of scam organisers and victims. How perfectly sane and logical bean counters can part with lakhs for something as mundane as matresses is something u should not miss. For more fun speak logically and poke holes in the scheme (warning be ready to get thrown out, even threatened). rgds jtd rgds jtd
