Almost all of the devices work with Linux that isn't the problem. (Most of them even work without any configuration.) > The feedback from the Tata Indicom show room, when I inquired about > photon a while back was that they don't support "Linux". Tata Indicom actually has an official "Linux and Mac Support Team" http://www.tataindicom.com/forums/showthread.php?p=4440#post4440 Whereas Reliance outright refuses to help you when you there is a problem. They won't escalate your support calls or lodge a complaint even when there is a network problem of their own doing. (Getting them to help you when you have an OS related issue is obviously too much to ask.) I have an ~3k Reliance device lying around totally useless.(As someone said it's too light to even be a paperweight.) Avoid Reliance.
