[off-topic] Wireless Modem/Router
by Sahil Dave 15 May '10

15 May '10

Dear All, I am planning to take a broadband connection from MTNL Mumbai. But the initial CPE charges that they take seem to be quite high. I read the mails which discussed about the pros & cons of MTNL broadband. Since I am from Delhi, and MTNL has got a good reputation out there, I am going with it. I plan to buy a wireless modem/router of my own before booking the connection. Can you guys suggest some good make/model# of wireless modem/router that work smoothly with both linux and mtnl? Also, I am new in Mumbai, and don't have any idea on the popular places to look out for computer hardware. Thanks Sahil Dave

by sanal kumar 09 May '10

09 May '10

Dear all....I'm a newcomer to this mailing list.I want some sort of help.When I tried to play a .pls file (it contains urls of radio streams). I'm using Debian Lenny 5.0.4.I've installed mpg123.el,emms and the related entries of my .emacs(dot_emacs) is given below.The dot pls file is attached (require 'emms-setup) (emms-standard) (emms-all) (emms-default-players) (require 'emms-streams) Some other radio streams in my ~/.emacs.d/emms-streams is working when I execute M-x emms-stream-popup and when one stream is selected M-x emms-start It works perfectly. The .pls file works perfectly in Alsaplayer and Totem (not in Emacs).Out of mere curiosity, I was trying to play the file in emacs.The attached radio stream url is in Malayalam.Expecting support of the community...sanal
