Opera is now Free !!
by Rony Bill 25 Sep '05

25 Sep '05

Hello All, I read in google news that opera is now free, so grab the opportunity and get the latest download from the link below. http://www.opera.com/download/index.dml?platform=linux&x=165&y=24 It has so many packages as per your distro. Its great man, the only reason why I had earlier stopped using it was its adware which is no longer present in the latest free-for-all version. Enjoy, Rony. ___________________________________________________________ How much free photo storage do you get? Store your holiday snaps for FREE with Yahoo! Photos http://uk.photos.yahoo.com

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

Has anyone been using the MTNL Night unlimited package? is there billing software working correctly? i have heard it doesnt. Their support service sucks.. bandwith seems decent. But they are pretty much deaf for a telephone company. I told them I wanted the NU package and they gave me AA package. I am either gonna change my plan.. or totally disconnect it.. So please do let me know if their billing software works correctly and doesnt charge for nightly usage. Satish

However i have got what i wanted - the power of FSF, There's a gr8 tool that we system admins shd deploy its libstatgrab freshmeat.net/projects/libstatgrab/ it gives a ncurses based output of multiple stats. In a SAN\NAS environ like ours - the cause of asvc_t or wio - this tool will surely help us. rgds biju __________________________________ Yahoo!

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
