[X-Post] Reliance WiMax
by Pradeepto Bhattacharya 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

Hi, Has anybody use the Reliance WiMax (Broadnet) services? I am more interested in their services in Mumbai. Good, Bad, Ugly? Apparently they install separate antenna for each connection. The size of this is as big as a laptop monitor or such, thats what the marketing exec told me. What I want to know is - 1) compatibility with Linux Boxes 2) does it work during the rainy season? Considering that rains in Mumbai or Panvel is slightly on the extreme side ;), does it work fine during the rainy season? I guess the same applies to the DTH setup even. Only reason, I am thinking its worth a try is because I won't have to depend on availabilty of power and such because I will be responsible to provide power to the setup which I can in case of load shedding as well. Thanks in advance. Cheers! Pradeepto -- The KDE Project : http://www.kde.org KDE India : http://in.kde.org Mailing List : http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-india

Tata Indicom CDMA USB Modem not working with GNU/Linux
by km 11 Aug '08

11 Aug '08

Hi list, Please enlighten me if you have any experience with using the Tata Indicom USB Modem under the Plug 2 Surf scheme. I have recently taken their subscription and facing problems using it with Kubuntu 7.10 It works fine in windoze, but fails to get any data transfer in Linux. I tried connecting using wvdial and also using KPPP. The following is a copy of what i get at the terminal on running wvdialconf: $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf Editing `/etc/wvdial.conf'. Scanning your serial ports for a modem. ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- failed with 2400 baud, next try: 9600 baud ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- failed with 9600 baud, next try: 115200 baud ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- and failed too at 115200, giving up.

But on trying to dial using "sudo wvdial", i get the following on the terminal: kamal@kMax:~$ sudo wvdial WvDial<*1>: WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.56 WvModem<*1>: Cannot get information for serial port.

WvDial Modem<*1>: ATDT#777 WvDial Modem<*1>: CONNECT WvDial<*1>: Carrier detected. Waiting for prompt. ... and so on and so forth.. it keeps repeating connection attempts and gives the same error "WvDial<Err>: Connected, but carrier signal lost! Retrying..." I have used wvdial for MTNL Garuda's USB modem on the same installation and it was working fine back then. Also, there was an existent wvdial.conf file with those old settings for MTNL Garuda connection until i executed "wvdialconf" again for the tata indicom USB modem. [* wvdial gave the same problem even with Ubuntu 7.04 installed on the same machine.] While when i tried connecting with KPPP on Kubuntu 7.10, it did succeed in connecting, that is, it showed me that its connected and the USB modem's indicator too indicated a connection. But i still could not surf the net (or ping any websites) Am i missing out something while configuring the connection. Could this be an issue with the DNS? The same modem is working fine for windoze on the same machine. Any help or your experiences in this regard are greatly appreciated. Thanks. -- Regards kamal { LINUXERS http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers /}
