Anyone live in India? ;-) Looks like Michael isn't M.I.A. after all, just has no access to SMTP, telnet, and SSH... <g> Quoted from: http://home.arachne.cz/index.shtml?clanekid=29 ----- Greetings from India ;-) by Michael Polak ([106][EMAIL PROTECTED]) I was planning this journey already for a long time, and now I am here, and it is really something which cannot be fully described by words. Holy cows are sitting just next to internet cafes... the connection is sometimes usable, and sometimes just none. To my big disappointment, Internet cafes are using Windows PCs as expected, but they are connecting through proxy and no other protocols than http are allowed. Air conditioned connection costs 20 Rupies per hour, plain connection 10 Rupies. If you think that connection speed is more important than air-condition, you have never been to India (I am less then 24 hours here, but I already learnt it ;-) I think this is important information for anyone, who plans to develop and manufacture ultra-cheap, single-purpose web browsing terminal, so I am in fact doing market research for Arachne Labs customers directly in front line ;-) I will keep you updated, if I am still alive or not. So far, I would like to say hello to all Arachne users in India. Your country is really.... unbelievable ;-) Others should read Hitchikers Guide to Galaxy for more details about what me and my girlfriend are experiencing here. During our trip to India, we will be available at [EMAIL PROTECTED], as I cannot get ssh to work. I think mail.arachne.cz is something which definitely should be done when we return... ---- --Eko http://www.survpc.net/ - Older PC and DOS Internet http://survpc.virtualave.net/ (noframe) To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.
