[ilugd] Wireless Internet Access






I have to provide temporary Internet access to a location and dragging 
wires is not an option. Both Tata Indicom and Reliance claim to have 
really 
good Internet access through their wireless phones. I was wondering if 
anyone has tried both so i can get a comparative idea.
I just got a Tata Indicom fixed wireless phone and it has a serial cable , 

no usb available. I havent tried connecting through that yet, my laptop 
doesnt have a serial port ;) . The reliance web world also said their 
phones can get the serial cable but again no USB, USB cables are for the 
handheld phones only. Would a Serial->USB convertor work ?

Secondly what is the status of the Linux compatibility ? They both have 
their respective CDs with dialers, can we not skip those ?

- Ankur.

I have used Reliance handphone with USB cable on Fedora Core 2, It works 
fine. Have not tried with fixed wireless phone.
