I have a unlimited plan from Tata Teleservices. Anurag has
it even, but 700MB plan iirc. The card works just fine on Linux. I
have been using it since a long time now. Works in random parts of the
country - actually has been test by both of us - in various parts of
the country - Panvel, Mankhurd, Bombay, Calicut, Chennai, Bangalore,
Delhi, Faridabad, Kolkatta, Manali :O even. It works if there is a
Tata Indicom network. Speed is good even ( for some definitions of
good, 15-20K ) . I have done a KDEPIM release over it once which
included uploading of tarball of whole of KDEPIM source. It took some
25 minutes to scp the 11MB file.
Cheers!
