I have MTNL TriBand out of their Khar(W) xchg. As you said it is good when it works but I have experienced a few outages and was not able to get thru to their support.

Me thinks it is far far better than the other isp's. I had total outages of less than ten minutes, except once when the wire was faulty.

Regarding the 502T modem, I ran into a couple of weird behaviors:

 1. Need MSIE to program port forwarding rules! I cannot not

program any port forwarding rule using Firefox (Linux and Windoze) or Konqueror. 2. When the config pages are accessed with Firefox, some of the icons on the various pages do not load; over a period of 10-12 days it's DNS relay would stop working and withing 2-3 days thereafter it would stop working completely. Only a hard reset of the unit would bring back it's functionality. DLink was not able to resolve the issues over the phone.

Finally, I took the unit to DLink Tech. support center @ Malad West. The tech. support came back and said nothing was wrong with my unit, that she was able to program a whole bunch of port forwarding rules. When I asked her what browser did she use - the answer was MSIE! I brought it back and using MSIE I found that the config pages play much better with MSIE than Firefox - wierd.

Anyone else experienced similar behavior with DLink 502t?

No problems at all with mozilla, FF, Konqueror or lynx (only used lynx for reading something on the modem). Debian sarge. Once u configure the modem and ask it to update the settings, u need to rerun your dhclient unless u have configured the modem to dispense a static ip to your box.With dynamic ip i experienced something similiar. Since i had planned to use static ip anyway, i did not check further, and i cant see the link between the problem and dhcp. Maybe it's the routes. I am clueless about IEeek tho.
