MTNL Triband Combo Offer? VALID?
by Roshan 29 Sep '05

29 Sep '05

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!

where is Xaccess file in Debian?
by Harshal 29 Sep '05

29 Sep '05

hi, just installed debian testing on one the machines on LAN. i want to remote login to that machine using its GDM. i have never done this before. the documentation i found on tldp starts with editing the /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess file. but that file is not present on the system. i tried looking in other files of that dir. but no help. so how does one go about doing remote X logins by XDMCP? thanks in advanced. -- " The hardest thing in life is to do nothing - 'cause you never know when your finished..."

>Also, there are certain things in Triband >Shifting charges - Rs. 100 (what's this?) In case you need to shift the equip to a new flat/location, I think... >Safety Charges - Rs. 100 (per month) They will protect against evil eyes :) - this is just something that you will have to pay for MTNL (dis)service to the Indians. >Also, is it supported in Redhat Linux 9.0? I'll let someone else chime in on Internet support in Linux :)

Looks like someone in MTNL is reading Sun Tzu's Art of War :) 'An important part of a military operation is deception. Attack them when they least expect it.' Looks like they fragged you here. I'm gonna write some custom auto app that sets off smoke alarms, sprinklers, and blows up the local exchange when something fishy is detected. But first the MTNL apparitions have to materialize to start my conn. And for once I'm okay if they don't come at all.

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! >I have already complained to MTNL in writing but have not heard from >them yet. Ok this is just my nightmare turning true here.. There is this site http://register.mtnl.in where you can see your usage. Does this show the same amount ? Do you look at this freq. or u got conned by the 'MTNL hai to sahi (lootnewala) hai' crap.. I had a similar fiasco with MTNL Dolphin where I could not suppress this urge to try GPRS. In the end they had no coverage in my area, they "activated" it without telling me, they sent me the bills (2 months late usually) . I called up and asked them to turn it off. 2 months later I find they guy who lied to me that GPRS was off and he bloody disconnected the phone. I get more bills after which I am asked to go to their mecca "Prabhadevi" to settle this. The guy there says I need to pay his insane bills before they disconnect my line. So now I have no alternative, to go the Screw you, you can KMA 6 months and a registered letter for corrected bills down the line, I haven't heard from them. I have switched to a Orange Prepaid and am paranoid of telephone companies. I have recuperated (why ???) and signed up now for MTNL triband *) after a fellow idiot is giving it rave reviews before getting the first bill. Gishu
