Hi a friend of mine is has a a project with an ngo that has a communications component supported by the DC*IO*CA, and we are looking for any technology available in Kenya whereby you can do video conferencing and training between countries. We have been told that communication projects that are web-based won't work in Africa due to the slow connection, and we haven't heard of anything besides satellite that is non web-based. Do you know of any? or where he can get informations (websites) n documents etc thanks

If you've been using sudo modprobe usbserial vendor='Hex' product='Hex' to identify your USB device (Orange,Safaricom, or Zain) you may find some modems are not automatically id'ed by new Ubuntu 9.04 'Jaunty Jackalope' A workaround. If you upgrade (as I did), boot with your old kernel. It works! <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/350904> rgds, Alex
