Hi, Just a thought, but wouldnt it be real nice if there was a sort of 'Ugandan Dialer' for linux. Like you stick your modem in, you fire up the Dialer, and it does all this typing for your, and tells you the status: 'You have a chinese USB GPRS modem. You must be on MTN. Do you want to dial in?' and hopsa.
Would that be difficult to do? Would it be something that the ISPs would want? Could they pay for such a piece of opensource software? Could we make it a group-effort, offline, or online? Or would a University Professor (kiggs!) be willing to develop it in class? just something i had been thinking of before. rgds, Reinier Battenberg Director Mountbatten Ltd. +256 782 801 749 www.mountbatten.net Be a professional website builder: www.easysites.ug On Tuesday 07 April 2009 10:02:22 Simon Vass wrote: > Dear Richard, > > Would greatly help if you could tell us the distribution and version of > Linux you are currently using.
