Voice/Call Systems

Hi All, A request from a friend of mine. <quote> We are looking for a partner CSP to provide PRS with an international group. The group is seeking to partner with a local company that is capable of providing a facility that can handle up to 20,000 min of calls per month. The calls shall be originating from abroad and accessing services within the facility, preferably using a "short-code" number (is possible?). Please advise on the viability of such a partnership, and advise what capital investment (hardware) would be required to get the facility functional. [The client is willing to start out using a single E1 link at the beginning of the project] </quote> Anyone know of a business which can handle this? Please send me contacts. Thanks -- Regards Brian Ngure

Seems Google has just bought a mobile company just because of it's patents. So i thought i'd give some patent trivia locally. http://www.kipi.go.ke/index.php/the-community - It seems software programs are not patent-able in Kenya. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_patent - Only the US encourages software patents globally, interesting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_software_patents - US List of patents Best Regards James K.

Wifi wont connect eve with correct password
by Ndungi Kyalo 17 Aug '11

Hi guys, A wifi network won't accept the correct password I provide it with on NetworkManager (version 0.8.0.999). This wireless network is reported to be "WPA Channel 11" by wicd (forgive my rather nooby description). Windows users do not report any such difficulties. What's a debian user to do ? -- Ndungi Kyalo neno.co.ke

SIM Applications like MPesa on Mi-Fi devices
by Okechukwu 17 Aug '11

17 Aug '11

Hi All, I have a Huawei Mi-Fi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MiFi) device which I can connect just like a normal USB dongle to my laptop, and using the Huawei mobile partner, I can send and receive SMS's from the mobile partner application, but cannot seem to see how to access SIM applications specifically MPesa since its a safcon line I use. Is there a way of doing this that anyone on list knows, or any application that can be done to do this? On permanently on a Mac so I guess if there is an app that I can be referred to it needs to work on the Mac. Tired of having to remove SIm card when I need to use mpesa. ./Ok3ch
