|
|
>This HOWTO is for people who have Reliance or TATA Indicomm WLL phones and
|
|
wish to access Internet on their desktops/laptops running GNU/Linux using
|
|
serial cable (NOT a USB CABLE).</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>No software provided by Reliance was used, but I did search the Internet for
|
|
the modem query strings which are required during PPP setup.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>I have tried this setup on Slackware Linux 10.1 with a 2.4.29 kernel and I am
|
|
pretty confident that this trick will work on other Linux distributions as well. </P
|
|
><P
|
|
>The HOWTO assumes that you have a fair knowledge about your Linux distribution (BSD or System V style) and that PPP support is pre-compiled in your Linux kernel.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>In this HOWTO we are talking about the serial cable for the following reasons:</P

|
>The cable provided by Reliance or TATA is very expensive (about 1400 rupees)
|
|
and the software provided supports only MS Windows.The cable
|
|
typically has a USB interface on one end and an RJ-45 interface on the
|
|
other. However, for these phones phones a cheaper cable is available
|
|
on the market (only 100 rupees). This cable has a serial interface on one
|
|
end and an RJ-45 on the other. You can make this cable yourself.
|
|
The procedure is discussed later in this HOWTO. Why waste money when
|
|
you can assemble your own cable or purchase the cheaper one?</P

>USB cables have some glitches for the WLL handsets, especially
|
|
the LG ones. I have no idea about other handsets, your input is welcome if you know about other sets. The
|
|
advantage in using a USB cable is that you can connect at 153.6 kbps as the handsets have an inbuilt
|
|
modem which is capable for speeds upto 170kbps.

>On the numerous forums I searched on the net I found that all talked
|
|
only about the USB cable and not about the serial one. I thought it was high
|
|
time to write this HOWTO to help fellow Linux users. </P

that these USB cables are also available on the market. Purchase them at your local computer vendor's. As per my last

information such cables cost only 200 rupees.
