oh! small error there. airtel internet on gsm phone works on prepaid cards too. am using it. that said, even with GPRS over EDGE, the connectivity is fickle. after a few sessions discovered that either it works straight away on connect, or just stands still on connect. if the latter happens, just disconnect and try again. a few minutes into the connection it may slow down again. so disconnect and try again. sigh! in contrast, WLAN rocks. have got into the habit of strolling or walking around while the phone seeks WLAN connections, and am startled to find WI-FI waves almost everywhere, although almost all are secured and encrypted. the cafecoffeeday around the corner offers wi-fi for patrons, at a steep cost of rs 90 for 90 minutes, valid for 48 hours, and was happy to note they offer full support and service for 'Linux'. including mentioning command-line instructions on how to connect your gnuLinux laptop to their service. anybody tried it yet? how's the speed and service? > About contact synchronization... i am not sure, but i am working on an > application "barbie", (barbie.sourceforge.net) in which i am trying to add > this feature.

May be these holidays.. :-) your url does not work, so searched for barbie on sourceforge. she's gone missing. :-) niyam bhushan _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22/23, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
