AFAIK, Reliance uses Sierra Wireless' Aircard 555. The FAQ on Sierra's site has a link to their knowledge base article on how to make it work on Linux. Officially the card is not supported on Linux.

Worked with it for 2 days on my client's pc. Works very nicely in Windows and the connection is good. Bandwidth availability unfortunately depends on who else around you is using the service. At the moment, connectivity is good.
Saw the SAP guys using it. They told me it works effectively in small cities also and they have not faced problems with it so far.

The biggest issue is the price. 15K is a very high sum to pay since the same is available on ebay for 3-5K. Unfortunately, I dont think Reliance will allow you to use a card not bought from them.
Incidentally, Tata has the same service and has cut the price from 15K to 10K.
with it ? regards Erle

Novell / Suse has (I am told) spent significant man-hours and got it working on suse. They may be able to give details on how it gets done. Reliance guys have no idea on linux.

Reliance card is available for Rs. 13k now.

My customer who was shifting res., booked one after making full payment but it never turned up even after a fortnight. Finally he called up the TATA office and cancelled the order. He placed an order with Reliance in the morning and by evening the Reliance engineer installed it in his machine.
Reliance R-Connect in general gives a speed of 115 Kbps and I actually tested it on an LG LSI 110 in Ville Parle East by starting a big file download. After the initial burst of speed, it stabilised at 14.6 Kbytes per second. R Connect has a timefree package of Rs. 650 per month with max. data size of 1 GB. With this package you also get access to its smtp server to send mails of other accounts.
It would be interesting to know if 2 LG LSI 110 phones can be connected together on one machine to give a download speed of 230 Kbytes per second. :)
Regards,
Rony.
