Dear manivannan, You can even select 230400 to enhance the speed between your PC and MODEM, but only when your basic thing is up and working flawless. Apart from that, you dont need to tweak data in or modem mode settings, it gets configured on the fly :-). Cheers ...............

Dear manivannan, Congratulations :-), Ok now when your set up your linux box properly also, then compare the performance of r-connect and tell us which one *sux* :-) (no pun intended). Cheers ..............

Dear manivannan, Ok please choose only pap authentication only, because rconnect only use that, I assume you have entered your username and password correctly. Well can you post your /var/log/message just after trying to connect, anything that says regarding pppd would be usefull. BTW in the account tab there wud be an option saying customised pppd arguments, please enter these options and reconnect. Ok I am attaching the screenshot of my options tab of kppp, hope it will help you to, resolve your problem. If all fails then please post your /var/log/pppmsg.log and .kde/share/config/kppprc . please include something like this from your /var/log/messages Feb 11 12:15:07 dacodecz pppd[25072]: pppd 2.4.2 started by root, uid 0 Feb 11 12:15:07 dacodecz netplugd[2826]: ppp0: ignoring event Feb 11 12:15:07 dacodecz pppd[25072]: Using interface ppp0 Feb 11 12:15:07 dacodecz pppd[25072]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyUSB0 Feb 11 12:15:10 dacodecz pppd[25072]: PAP authentication succeeded Feb 11 12:15:10 dacodecz pppd[25072]: MPPC compression enabled Feb 11 12:15:11 dacodecz netplugd[2826]: ppp0: ignoring event Feb 11 12:15:11 dacodecz netplugd[2826]: ppp0: ignoring event Feb 11 12:15:11 dacodecz pppd[25072]: local IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Feb 11 12:15:11 dacodecz pppd[25072]: remote IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and something like this from your /var/log/pppmsg.log using channel 2 Using interface ppp0 Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyUSB0 sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <mru 1460> <asyncmap 0x0> <magic 0xc651aebc> <pcomp> <accomp>] rcvd [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <mru 1514> <asyncmap 0x0> <auth pap> <magic 0x1b28d76f> <pcomp> <accomp>] sent [LCP ConfAck id=0x1 <mru 1514> <asyncmap 0x0> <auth pap> <magic 0x1b28d76f> <pcomp> <accomp>] rcvd [LCP ConfAck id=0x1 <mru 1460> <asyncmap 0x0> <magic 0xc651aebc> <pcomp> <accomp>] sent [PAP AuthReq id=0x1 user="<hidden>" password=<hidden>] rcvd [PAP AuthAck id=0x1 ""] PAP authentication succeeded sent [CCP ConfReq id=0x1 <mppe -H -M -S -L -D +C> <deflate 15> <deflate(old#) 15> <bsd v1 15>] sent [iPCP ConfReq id=0x1 <addr 0.0.0.0>] rcvd [iPCP ConfReq id=0x2 <compress VJ 0f 00> <addr xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx>] sent [iPCP ConfRej id=0x2 <compress VJ 0f 00>] rcvd [CCP ConfRej id=0x1 <deflate 15> <deflate(old#) 15> <bsd v1 15>] sent [CCP ConfReq id=0x2 <mppe -H -M -S -L -D +C>] rcvd [CCP ConfReq id=0x3 <mppe -H -M -S -L -D +C>] sent [CCP ConfAck id=0x3 <mppe -H -M -S -L -D +C>] rcvd [iPCP ConfNak id=0x1 <addr xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx>] sent [iPCP ConfReq id=0x2 <addr xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx>] rcvd [iPCP ConfReq id=0x4 <addr xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx>] sent [iPCP ConfAck id=0x4 <addr xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx>] rcvd [CCP ConfAck id=0x2 <mppe -H -M -S -L -D +C>] MPPC compression enabled rcvd [iPCP ConfAck id=0x2 <addr xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx>] local IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx remote IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Script /etc/ppp/ip-up started (pid 25092) Script /etc/ppp/ip-up finished (pid 25092), status = 0x0 rcvd [Compressed data] 60 00 00 21 45 00 01 96 ... sent [CCP ResetReq id=0x3] Cheers ................

Dear manivannan, Sorry for the late reply, I was stuck with the reliance billing **** :-(, anyway everything resolved now, so I am back again :-). Okiez from you your message regarding mkinitrd failure, it seems that you didnt compiled the loop block device support inside the kernel, or you choose it as a module and didnt load it before starting your kernel recompilation adventure. please check that CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=y But if you selcted as CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=m then please do modprobe loop before starting your kernel compilation, then do the kernel compilation as you did before. I hope this will solve your problem, if all fails then please post your kernel config file as I told you before, and tell me what mkinitrd version you are using, just do rpm -q mkinitrd, and post the results. Cheers .................

Dear manivannan, I can send you the fedora core 3 cd's, if you can provide me your mailing address, all free :-).

Dear manivannan, Assuming you are using red hat 9 OS, please build kernel like this. Please check you have selected these options to be build inside the kernel not as modules. CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=y CONFIG_EXT2_FS=y or your initrd will always fail while mounting its image. Redhat uses ext2fs as it's initrd filesystem. Now execute these commands in the kernel directory make clean make mrproper make menuconfig (select the options as you need but remember abouve config options must be build inside the kernel not as moule) make bzImage make modules make modules_install make install if you're using lilo than type lilo -c -v if it still fails than please post your kernel config file as attachment. your kernel config file is inside the kernel source directory .config file. Cheers .........

Dear manivannan, 2.6 version of kernel have the driver support for both the chipsets. Fedora, debian test and knoppix latest all have the drivers for pl-2303 built-in, and hey same driver have the support for both chipsets. check driver source for kernel 2.6 path-to-the-kernel-source/drivers/usb/serial/pl2303.c. Cheers ..........

Dear manivannan, Hey is it the complete log you are getting ? BTW try this and tell me what it says, in windows open hyperterminal, configure it to talk to the com port your modem is connected on, and then in client area type any key, if communication between your pc and modem is ok than it would say online in the status bar. Now type the commands and see what it says back, while typing command keep the phone infront of you so you can see what is going on. Type it one by one, after each command press enter and see what modem respond to that command. ATZ ATE1V AT&V0 AT&V1 AT+CTA=30 ATDT#777 Watch your phone and see what moden respond for this command. Plz post back the results. Cheers .............

Dear manivannan, If your system is not running any mission critical services and if you dont have any legacy program issue, then I would suggest to install something new in your system. Redhat 9 is now a history, try fedora core 3 or debians sarge, or if you dont feel like installing new linux in your system then try latest knoppix. All Linux distribution I mentioned have all the needed drivers built in. Well if you feel like a geek today :-), than try LFS. I am posting some of the links from where you can get this. www.linuxfromscratch.org fedora.redhat.com www.debian.org www.knoppix.net mirrors.kernel.org/fedora Cheers ..............

Dear linuxguy, The figure was totaly based upon assumption. I assumed 6,000 online users, but what about 12,000 or 20,000 online users. Furthermore not a signle server farm would be happy to waste there 6Mbps to this ping thingy ask them :-). Cheers......

Dear catalan, I am having 3 rim phones, Samsung SCH-191, LG RD-2030/2130, Last year I used to use samsung phone actively for r-connect, but I bought new 2130 in dec last year solely for r-connect, I am using there platinium plan, and use it around 16/22 hrz daily. The speed between my phones and pc is set to 230400Kbps, speed between reliance server and phones vary according to time and load on BST. The average speed I am getting from r-connect is arnd 1-56 Kbps in daytime and arnd 70-160 Kbps in night time. Cheers ....................

Dear manivannan, Can you post the modem's log from your /var/log/messages, and can you tell me what kernel are you using, type uname -r and post the result, lets hope you did'nt wasted your money to some broken cable.

Dear deepu, Get this http://www.lgmobiles.com/pcsync_rd2230&2130.exe and enjoy, it works perfectly for LG RD-2030/2130. Cheers..........

Dear rim001, You can run your pc-sync software in 2 mode, one is continuous polling mode and one is user selecetable mode, well in continuous polling mode sometimes software get confused about the com port and report error after a long try, I will suggest you to change the continuous poll to manual one, you can change it by right clicking it's icon in system tray, and choosing the appropriate option, this suggestion will only work if you already have selected the right com port in your configuration. Cheers ...........

Dear darth, What are you suggesting ? Are you aware of the ill effect it can cause on the usb bus, I have a prototype USB-TO-SERIAL cable, that we have developed in house. We are using TI's BQ24020 for power and charging from the usb bus , direct power connection between your pc's usb bus and phones power circuit can lead to disastrous results. Think about over current, short circuit, high dropout and many more.

Dear shan, Whom you wanna ping ?

Dear gopisd, 1)Well what is its advantage compared to inbuilt antenna, how can it boost the cell's signal, ummm does it contain some sort of transceiver, what mechanism it employs in boosting the signal, I guess theres a direct relationship between wavelength of the frequency and antenna's dipole length, and most if not all, cell companies follow the standard and have the proper implementation of the antenna. 2)Sorry but I cant understand your second post, but what are you suggesting can lead to some serious legal act against the r-connect users and as well as reliance itself, maybe you wanna ask how, well lets do some calculation. Suppose if 10,000 r-connects user are online at a time and, now not all but if only 6,000 online users are pinging to the given server at same time on average, than what would be the bandwidth consumption of that server, ok take 128 bytes per second as average ping traffic going from all the users to server even than it would eat 750KB/s or arnd 6Mpbs of bandwidth only to this ping traffic, what a waste :-(. It can lead to what happend to yahoo server in february 2000. For more details try searching term like DoS, denial of service attack or trinity on google. Now if this can lead to such a problem how we can solve this problem, well there are two approach that I am aware of. 1). If you know the details of AT command set implemented in your phones modem than you can teach your modem not to release the RLP traffic channel during inactivity, but maybe reliance will not like it, because it can lead to serious network congestion. 2). Now if you wanna ping and only ping :-) than ping your own gateway provided by the reliance each time you get connected to it's server. Look when a user get connected to the ppp server of its ISP, it gets two ip numbers, one ip for the ppp interface and other for the default gateway, ping this gateway if you have to and leave others. Cheers .........................

could you please *decode* that for me? I doesnt make any sense to me 25894[/snapback] Dear linuxguy, I meant this. If peer X want to communicate with me, than it would be allowed only if (1) My host initiated the connection. (2) My host is have having a port open for a service, that I want to serve and peer X's ip is not in my ban-list. Rest you can decode easily, I hope so :-).

Dear imvikky, You can type this command in the modem extra initialization string section of the modem configuration dialog of ms OS, and can send it direct to the chat program script in linux OS. These commands will get executed each time when your modem get initialized for the r-connect connection. [From the qualcomm datasheet] +CTA ==> Um Packet Data inactivity timer. Description: This command is used to Set, Read, and Test the Um packets data inactivity timer. Values: 1. 0 : Traffic channel not released during inactivity periods. 2. 20-255 : Release the traffic channel after <values> 1-second intervals have elapsed, since last sending or receiving RLP data frames on the Um interface. Command Syntax. AT+CTA=<val> 1. AT+CTA ? ===> Display the current setting. 2. AT+CTA=? ===> Display valid parameter range. 3. AT+CTA=1 ===> Set to 1 second. Cheers.........

Dear jusmail, I am not aware of LG 1030, and **NO** you cant use the LG RD-2030/2130 data cable for Samsung SCH 191. They are different beasts in the there port interface. Samsung SCH 191 is having native USB port for the date interface, while LG RD-2130/2030 is having serial ones.

Duhhhh .......... What they want to prove by banning the mobile phones in the school, will this stop any further act like this? I guess they are not interested in improving the sensuality and decision making power of the students, instead they just don't want to let the world know whats going behind the curtain. Once again these idiot decision makers proved how stupid they are behind there fake and stereotype intellect.

Dear arun, Using hyperterminal or minicom program can ya please type these AT commands and post me back the results. (1)AT$QCRLPD. (2)AT$QCPPPD. (3)AT$QCIPD (4)AT$QCRL3D (5)AT$QCPKND [WARNING] These commands are specific to quallcoms chipset, which LG RD-2030 and LG RD-2130 is using and I am aware of, please dont try these commands on other handsets.

Dear gopisd, 1.What cell booster are you talking about, how they can boost the cell signal, can you give us some more details. 2.What you are suggesting can lead to DoS'ing of the www.ril.com, be warned implication could be serious.

Dear friends, What do you mean by internet connection drops every 5 Min, is it that you get disconnected from the server or your communications get stalled but you are still connected to the net, please clarify. Btw if you are getting disconnected from the server every 5 mins than maybe the BST your phone is talking to is heavily congested or maybe that you are not getting enough signal strength in the ares you are in. But if you are not getting disconnected from the server and your communications seems to get stalled than there maybe some routing problem on the reliance side. There routers routing table must be getting invalidated from time to time, well they are learning how to be an ISP :-). [ This only applies if you are not disconnected from the server ] Best way to check more about the problem is to ping your assigned gateway on the rconnect session, and see what it says if packets are getting out from your PC but you are not getting any packets back from the gateway then I am afraid I just discovered a nasty bug in there routing management.

Dear mahendra, Using reliance r-connect the average data transfer rate I am having is around 900MB per day , and most of this comes from 10:00PM to 09:00AM, for rest of the time data transfer rate is not that much good. My experience shows me that in night sometimes your even get 160/Kbps or 20KBPS data transfer rate, though it's higher than the DTR rate reliance talk about but my statistics shows me this. In day time dont expect anything more than 60/70 kbps to 7/10 kbps. Now regarding downloading 1GB file check if they are providing it's torrent and if you find one than use the any freely available bittorrent client to get that file. But if you dont find torrent of the file than ftp is ur only resource. Be aware of the download accelerator though, most of there claim is superfluous, the only facility they can provide is the ability to resume partial download, downloading from multiple sites (only if the site from where you are downloading provide this extension in there ftp server), recursive download and ability to be get leecher :-), but remember doesnt matter what these software claims, you will only get as much as the pipe between the server and your PC can sustain. So dont get frustrated and give some time to get it downloaded until you get some real broadband connection having a DTR of not less than 512Kbps/64KBPS, than you can certainly get it downloaded in 4-6 hrz, till then r-connect is far far good than BSNL'S 56Kbps dial-up services. I am posting the link regarding to bittorrent sites, maybe you will find it usefull, for more information you can always google about it. http://bittorrent.com/ the home site. http://azureus.sourceforge.net/ java based client it provides some real good features.
