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:

नेपालमा क्यान्सरको उपचार र 'सेकाइ'का डाक्टर

म क्यान्सर रोग र त्यसको उपचारको विषय - 'अँकोलोजी' मा स्नातकोतर गर्दै गरेको डाक्टर बिद्यार्थी हुँ ।
अहिले भरतपुर स्थित वि पि कोइराला मेमोरियल क्यान्सर अस्पतालमा कार्यरत छु । 
यहाँ हरेक दिन २०० जना क्यान्सरका बिरामी हाम्रो ओपिडीमा आउनुहुन्छ र झन्डै २५० जना बिरामीको रेडियोथेरापी हुन्छ ।


यो लेखमा मैले क्यान्सर रोग र यसको उपचारको बारेमा केही लेख्ने सोचेको छु।
यो लेख्ने 'आगो' आज भेट भएका सँखुवासभाका बिरामीले लगाईदिएका हुन् ।

क्यान्सर के हो ?
सामान्यतया अनुशासनमा बस्ने शरिरका कोशहरु (cells) एकाएक हतार हतार बढ्न थाल्छन् , बाँडिन थाल्छन् र त्यसले गर्दा शरिरमा समस्या आउँछ । यही क्यान्सर हो ।
क्यान्सरको अर्को नराम्रो बानी एउटा ठाँउबाट अर्को ठाँउमा सर्ने हो । यउटा अँगमा उम्रेको क्यान्सर छेउकै अँग अथवा टाढाको अँगमा फैलियो भने त्यसलाई मेटास्टासिस भएको भनिन्छ । (Metastasis)

क्यान्सर कुन कुन अँगमा हुन सक्छ ?
क्यान्सर कुनै पनि अँगमा हुन सक्छ । पुरुषहरुमा फोक्सोको क्यान्सर , मुखको क्यान्सर धेरै भेटिन्छन् भने महिलाहरुमा पाठेघरको मुख (cervix) र स्तनको क्यान्सर ।

क्यान्सर किन हुन्छ ?
