Reliance phone ( at least LG, with Rs-232 data cable) almost seems to work like a Hayes compatible modem. It responds to few AT commands but seems to have slightly different control set. I have been trying to get it to work with standard dialers like wvdial or kppp.
As far as dialling to any other regular ISP phone number is concerned, I have not tried as yet. However, right now Reliance Infocomm has a special number to dial and I get a sustained download rate of about 6-7 KBytes/s. I believe Reliance is not charging separately for Internet connectivity. It treats it like any other local call. So it is cheaper to use their Internet bandwidth. - Prabhat Ranjan DA-IICT, Gandhinagar On Wednesday 28 May 2003 01:36 am, you wrote: > On Tue, 27 May 2003, Srinivasan Mohan wrote: > > Hi Animesh, > > > > Is it possible to use thir reliance phone as a dialling device for a > > linux machine, say making it /dev/modm or something link that and go > > online thru the linux machine? > > Technically speaking I haven't tried this yet but we can definitely have a > PPP link over a serial port and can access the reliance phone as ttyS* or > something.
