Using CDMA Wireless Modem in Ubuntu

Using CDMA USB Wireless Modem with NTC Sky Phone R-UIM in Ubuntu!

Things needed:
CDMA USB Wireless Modem- ~3000 rupees.
R-UIM Card from NTC ~1200 rupees.
Ubuntu 7.10 (Not sure about other versions!)

Just Put the RUIM inside the wireless modem and plug it to the USB Port.

1. Put in the RUIM into the device and insert as USB.

2. Now you need to edit the file called /etc/wvdial.conf by the command 'sudo nano /etc/wvdial.conf'
This is my setting:
________________________________
[Dialer Defaults]
In it1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = USB Modem
Baud = 460800
New PPPD = yes
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
ISDN = 0
Phone = #777
Password = 9741147061
Username = 9741147061
______________________________
make sure that the password and username is the same.. that is.. your phone number!
save the file using Ctrl+X

3. Now edit the file  /etc/network/interfaces  by the command 'sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces'
_______________________________
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface ppp0 inet ppp
provider ppp0
gateway 10.64.64.64
_______________________________
now save the file again using Ctrl+X

4. Now the file called /etc/resolv.conf is edited using 'sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf
________________________________
nameserver 202.70.64.5
nameserver 202.70.64.15
________________________________
save again using Ctrl+X

5. :) You are done.. now you are just so close to surfing... wait for a second now.. now restart your machine...

6. In the terminal type : 'wvdial'
you will now get:

HIV/AIDS: FAQ

Q. What is HIV ?
HIV is Human Immuno-deficiency Virus, (a disease of humans where there is deficiency of immunity). It is a RNA virus. It is a special kind because it forms DNA from RNA (generally RNA is formed from DNA), this is due to the presence of the enzyme called reverse transcriptase.
HIV belongs to the 'retrovirus' family, so the therapy against this virus is called 'anti-retroviral therapy.'


Q. Then what is AIDS ? AIDS is Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome which means a collection of symptoms and infections resulting from the damage to the immune system caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

Innocent but Positive

Meet baby boy Himal, from Jhapa. He is just 10 months old, and was in our Paediatrics ward when I was posted there.
He was admitted to investigate for his recurrent severe pneumonia.

After admission, a proper medical history was taken. Family history revealed that both his parents died due to complications of AIDS.
He has a elder brother, just 6 years old, who has recently been tested positive. Both the boys live with their grandmother who has no source of income and no family support.

The reason for the baby boy's recurrent pneumonia was apparent, but I was waiting for the test results with crossed fingers. The results came, it was positive for HIV. But there still remains a small hope that it might be the antibodies from the mother's blood that would clear off after he is about 2 years of age.

When my seniors were investigating more and trying to fit him into a classification of HIV, I was thinking about the future of the boy. How could his parents be so ignorant? They already…
