CPE (aka DSL modem) monthly rental is _waived_ if you go with an *unlimited plan* see here for details: <http://mumbai.mtnl.net.in/triband/htm/tariff.htm> I have been on an unlimited plan ever since it was offered by MTNL Mumbai. Over the last 5 years, I have gone through 2 modem replacements. One Caveat - you need to keep the original kit they give in a safe place, CAT 5 cable included because during replacement the chap wants to see everything little piece they gave you - a minor annoyance. -- Arun Khan -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
