People ,
i request some guidance from users in this list of airtel gprs
service in kolkata .
i am presently connecting using local cablewallah LAN 64kbps
unlimited use for 450Rs /mnth .
i have a non-gprs airtel phone .
an friend suggested that it'll be cheaper to buy a
gprs-enabled phone and use airtel gprs to connect .
i am unfamilair with this - having used dial-up a long time
ago on linux (the ppp stuff). i have
some questions ....
1) which gprs-phone model do u people suggest for easy use
under linux pref through serial port cable ? i will tie it up to a linux-box
for exclusive internet use so i don't need any other
feature .
2) how do i configure for 24/7 uptime under linux ? please also
consider that i want to
run the phone under mains-adapter so as to avoid recharging
the battery if thats
possible . any sample ppp scripts ?
3) most importantly how much do i have to pay monthly to airtel
for this service - inclusive
of everything ? i presently have a lifetime-prepaid sim .
4) what's the actual speed in kbps that i get ?
Shall be grateful for the info .
- pinaki .
