luv-shepparton(a)luv.asn.au luv-latrobe(a)luv.asn.au luv-tech(a)luv.asn.au luv-talk(a)luv.asn.au luv-meta(a)luv.asn.au luv-jobs(a)luv.asn.au luv-geelong(a)luv.asn.au luv-beginners(a)luv.asn.au luv-ballarat(a)luv.asn.au Are any of the above lists needed? In the past all of the above apart from luv-talk had been low traffic, now even the luv-main list is low traffic. I don't think we need to have separate luv-talk and luv-main lists nowadays given the low traffic on luv-main. I also think that if people from regional areas want to discuss their stuff on luv-main it wouldn't be a problem given the overall lack of traffic and the fact that people from the Melbourne area do visit regional areas on occasion. The jobs list is also a corner case, in the past there hadn't been many people on it as there was a chicken and egg problem of a lack of subscribers and a lack of jobs. I don't think we will be overwhealmed by job ads any time soon. So job ads on luv-main should be fine as long as they are actually specific to the Linux community (like small businesses or companies specialising in Linux) not just the typical stuff you see on Seek or LinkedIn. So any reason for not closing the lists at the top of the message? -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/

Need advice re wireless modem-router
by Terry Duell 03 Nov '12

03 Nov '12

Hello All, I have been asked to buy an ADSL2+ wireless modem-router for a non-tech friend. My experiences with wireless modem-routers is varied and probably a bit out of date. I have had excellent service from a Dlink DSL-G604T. Not long ago I bought a Netgear DGN1000 (for same friend) and it was a complete disaster. It would take something like 20-30 mins to establish an initial connection with the ISP. The Netcomm (non wireless) that it replaced would establish a connection in about 1-2 mins, which is about how long my Dlink takes. An electrical storm wiped out the Netgear and now I have to find a suitable replacement. I wish to avoid the problems we had with the Netgear, and based on my experience was thinking about a Dlink (2740BR or 2750B) but it occurred to that maybe all/most of these devices use the same chipset. Any advice that might help avoid purchasing another disaster would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, -- Regards, Terry Duell

I have always had pretty good results from Billion equipment. I use the 7404 range, which may be a bit expensive, but they tend to be good at holding a connection and they are stable. I have had less than stellar experiences with a couple of Netgear routers and WAPs over the years, although their ProSafe switches (the ones with the blue steel cases) have been fine. > Message: 1 > Date: Mon, 29 Oct 2012 12:44:43 +1100 > From: "Terry Duell" <tduell(a)iinet.net.au> > Subject: Need advice re wireless modem-router > To: luv-tech(a)luv.asn.au > Message-ID: <op.wmw24tqurs0ygh@phenom> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed; delsp=yes > > Hello All, > I have been asked to buy an ADSL2+ wireless modem-router for a non-tech > friend. > My experiences with wireless modem-routers is varied and probably a bit > out of date. > I have had excellent service from a Dlink DSL-G604T. > Not long ago I bought a Netgear DGN1000 (for same friend) and it was a > complete disaster.

ADSL modems that handle bad lines
by Toby Corkindale 30 Oct '12

30 Oct '12

Hi tech list, Despite living in the inner suburbs, I have a dreadful ADSL sync speed; around 4.5 mbps, give or take 500kbps. I'm quite a long way from the Moreland exchange, unfortunately. There's not much that be done about that.. but I wondered if there are any ADSL modems that might work a bit better for me? I'm currently on a Billion 5200 which is getting a bit long in the tooth. Cheers, Toby

Welcome everyone to luv-tech. Sorry about the delay with getting the list started yesterday. Mailman, despite all suggestions to the contrary, required genaliases to be rerun. Anyway, we're here now. Have fun. All the best, -- Lev Lafayette, mobile: 0432 255 208 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1855.txt
