[PLUG] Data Card Support under Linux
Recently lot of laptop vendors give Datacard (Reliance ot TataIndicom) free or at discounted rate with laptop. Earlier today I saw that one of the HP laptops provide free data card, but to keep costs down they ship with FreeDOS. Obviously options are to install Linux or Windows. Has anyone successfully used these datacards under linux ? (I'm interested in ubuntu, but any other distro is OK too) -DP -- On the internet, no one knows you are a penguin Check my blog at http://desipenguin.blogspot.com/ -- __ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.

Karunakar Hi i have tried out the data card (USB) one that comes with reliance (Huwei ec325), it works well in linux, just need to do a modprobe for the stuff in mandrake and slackware, and then it works cool with wvdial ;) From Dexter http://www.HorizontalRings.com Life though is clear, people still want to see colours -- __ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
[PLUG] Open Office in Government
Hello Mr. Anand Kulkarni I read your post regarding Open Office in Government Organisations. And I fully agree with you that government should not spend public money for purchasing MS Office Licenses when Open Office is available for free. We are running a Non Government Organisation 'Grahak Raja Jaga Ho' working in the field of consumer awareness awareness about Right to Information Act. 'Grahak Raja Jaha Ho' is ready to take your issue seriously I find following plan to force government organisations to use Open Office. 1) To get all information about funds spend for purchasing MS Office Licenses during the financial year 2006-2007. We can get this information by using Right to Information Act 2005. To start with we can collect the information from Pune District. 2) We can compile a report about funds spend on MS Office Licenses by different Government Organisation from Pune District. And I am sure the figure will touch at least 1 Crore. 3) We will get the report published in all News Papers / News Channels. This will help us to gather MASS support. 4) We can file a PIL (Public Interest Litigation) asking Why Government is spending Crores of rupees on MS Office Licenses when Open Office is available for free.
