Dear Friends,

Last week, I had to configure a Cisco 800 series router-877W for one of my clients. I had to struggle to find extended DSL settings for Etisalat network. I called up Etisalat but they simply washed their hands off this by saying we do not support this router. Then I hoped Google uncle will be able to rescue me but that did’nt help either, then I searched through 3-4 manuals and reached a working configuration. I am listing DSL config parameters below so that you don’t waste any time on this-

Encapsulation          :        PPPoA5MuX
VPI                                    :        0
VCI                                    :        50
Authentication        :        PAP and CHAP (select both)
IP Address                    :       IP address negotiated

We all know about the traditional five senses – sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste. Very soon a new sense is going to be added to this-SIXTH SENSE. If you don’t know yet then don’t left far behind as this is going to usher a new revolution in next few years. Check the video at following link-

2 days back my friend called me and asked- How to be sure if his machine’s motherboard will support ISA NIC card or not? He was not sure how ISA slot (remember!!…….don’t worry it is getting obsolete, not found on newer Motherboards) looks like? I sent him following picture to identify and differentiate various card slots on MB. Just sharing with you if any of you get stuck on this.

Following picture clearly identifies 3 common card slots- ISA, PCI and RAM (I am not going into details of DDR over here)

I was just digging up Youtube for something while I came across this excellent documentary. This gives an inside look of basic computer concepts, Boolean algebra,  how computers used to look and work in 1969 and what Britishers used to think about Computers way back a generation away. It is a 3 part video- Worth watch! I am sure you will enjoy watching this.

Just let me know your thoughts on this.

Thanks,
