Last Friday CAT Telecom office in Central Festival Phuket started selling yet another model of CDMA USB modem – Novatel Wireless Ovation MC760. The price is set at 7250 baht. We will test this modem with our CDMA Sharing Router this week.
We have all versions of Windows 7 available for sale. For some reason 64-bit versions (what many people desire) are on order from our distributor. If you are looking for ways to legalize your software that’s probably the good moment. Please remember you can always use free OpenOffice instead of Microsoft Office. If you are using old specialized software (booking etc.) please consult us first about the upgrade.
Getting a lot of these errors today, looks like the connections limit is too low on TOT server?
Today we released a new version of our CDMA Sharing Router. We made some tests using Huawei EC226 USB CDMA modem and in Phuket, Kathu area we’ve got the speeds of 2.3Mbps! We are using speedtest.net with Bangkok server for speed tests. The price of the router will stay the same – 6000 baht including setup.
CAT Telecom stopped selling Novatel Wireless MC727 and now selling a new modem, Huawei EC226, which is even cheaper (6xxx baht). We successfully tested it with our CDMA Sharing Router.
Dell shop and Service Center opened in Phuket town today on Phang-Nga Road, opposite bus terminal.
From today we are selling the fantastic MacBook Air on Phuket for a very competitive price!
Today computers in our office, an a few customers of ours, while trying to send email via smtp.totisp.net (or smtp-adsl.totonline.net) received the following message from a server:
“The evaluation license has expired”. For example, my Mozilla Thunderbird shows it like this:
I decided to check the server directly:
telnet smtp.totisp.net 25
Trying 118.175.8.10…
Connected to ruhk-010.totisp.net.
Escape character is ‘^]’.
421 The evaluation license has expired.
Connection closed by foreign host
Looks like TOT did not pay for a software it is using! Remember what TOT is also blocking outgoing port 25, and people cannot use other SMTP servers (unless they use alternate port number)?
There is one upside to the mindless TOT SMTP filtering: people will start switching to the secure SMTPS protocol if their hosting providers support it, which is a good thing – private information, like e-mail, should be encrypted in transmission by default. Details of the switching to alternative SMTP (or SMTPS) port can be found on our ADSL information page.
