The Orange Modem on Linux (Finally...)
by Samuel Waithaka 27 Jul '10

27 Jul '10

There have been several discussions about the Orange modem on Linux (and probably others). I'm sure 99% of the problem is the pin requirement. Just diabling it will end the misery. (I should have known this..) You will need the interface that comes with the modem to disable the pin, so you need Windows. In ubuntu 10.04, you only need to install the usb-modeswitch and the Network Manager will sort you out with the rest (Broadband Modem). -- Samuel Waithaka Techiepreneur | http://groups.to/techiepreneur http://www.linkedin.com/in/waithaka http://twitter.com/samwaithaka

Hello skunks, Just wondering if anyone knows what it takes to get this, costs and availability. Makes a lot of sense that this would be the best broadband solution where available but it seems information is very scanty. Anyone? -- Posted on 100% recycled electrons

Re: [Skunkworks] News on the 200$ iPhones
by [watchman] 26 Jul '10

26 Jul '10

Morning peoples. I have news on the 3Gs' i had been promised at 200$. Seems the guys who were supplying them to me have no turned around with the following statement. *"... as much as we had promised you the phones at 200$, the demand has increased for 3Gs' because of the issues with iPhone 4's, we cannot supply them at the previously said price. If you are still interested in getting them, the prices are below. 16GB 400$ 32GB 540$." *So, i'm checking for any suppliers who can assist with this. I am very sorry guys, I was looking forward to having free roaming iPhones with Skunks. :( -- watchman
