I need to stay in touch with my office in the U.S. while in India using 
fax/modem and my laptop.

If knowledgeable, kindly provide me info on:

1.  What kind of FAX MODEM should I take?  Speed, standard, protocol, etc.

2.  Is it easy to hook up an external modem to Indian home telephone lines?
    Do I need an acoustic coupler?
    
3.  Any experiences with actual usage in India, relating to phone noise, etc.

Thanks in advance.

	Well if you had followed the news carefully you would have
realuized that the issue that really made this incident newsworthy was
the death threat issued to the Principal of the school by the 'Muslim
Fundamentalists'. I am not not going to defend the actions of the
school principal but I guess one can clearly see the inappropriateness
of issueing 'death penalty' by these 'fundamentalists'. Who the hell
do they think they are, anyways. Such actions have no place in India
and we cant do less not trying to sensitize all indians to threats
these 'fundamentalists' pose.

	By the way, I agree with you on the issue of right of the
students to wear caps.

To paraphrase Buchanan, we need to "take back" the net from all of these
limp-wristed perverts, and the immature, chest-ogling schoolboys.
One would think that these homos would be more careful about their "lifestyles"
these days with HIV and everything else going around.  But since the Indian
public is poorly educated on the subject,  it is clear that these freaks
are also completely ignorant of what will befall them.

These scathing criticisms are not limited to the tinkerbells, but also the
insensitive, harrassing boor who started this string.  With everything that
has transpired since the Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas incident, you'd think
that even if these pigs haven't become more aware of sexual harrassment, they
would at least disguise their perversion.

Could any of you (Pro-Khalistan) people give me a solid reason of wanting
Khalistan. What do you people expect to do with the Hindus from Punjab ?
Throw them out ? What will happen to all the sikhs in India that do not 
live in Punjab ? I am quit sure that many, if not all? (sikhs) have 
relatives in India outside Punjab! Are they ready to leave everything and 
move to Khalistan ??

AND NOBODY has yet given me a number of how many sikhs REALLY want a 
Khalistan ?  (I wonder why?) 

Everybody I know from Punjab, say that they are as much afraid of the 
"Kharkhus" (Sikh militants)  disregarded of if they are Hindus or Sikhs.
And also, is it not true that the Police in Punjab is exploiting the
situation? (Punjab police also has sikhs as members in their force).
I tend to believe that the govt. has a hand in the game, and that is 
combining dirty politics with religion to favour them selves. But the 
solution is not Khalistan! Even sikhs do not stand united in this matter.
There are several sikh organisations ready to take power and fighting 
each other! Who will win ??


Once agin: DISUNITED WE STAND ?

I dont know how to start. What do you mean by "easy" solution? Do you think 
it is really an easy problem to solve? What do you think of the people of Pun-
jab (it might be that you probably left Punjab before everything started),
with less than 50% Sikhs, you will have a consensus on separation? Do you 
really think that the Punjab problem would have been lasting for the last 10
gory years with the people of the state actually wanting a separation? Remem-
er of the North Bengal problem? Actually, I believe there was a majority of 
the people demanding some kind of autonomy (not total separation, as they 
were not equally foolish as other people to support a complete separation 
from India, a very powerful nation in that part of the world).

Could you explain why the killings of 1984 is nearly always referred to in 
the context of Khalistan? WHY? I think it has nothing to do with it!! It was
just an incident that happened in Los Angeles during the recent riots! Due to
utter anarchy, on TV it was shown how even security guards stole from the shops
they were supposed to guard. It was just ANARCHY, just as the hindu killings 
take place everyday in Punjab (there is not much fanfare, as it has become a 
daily issue unlike what happened ONCE in 1984!).

Get real and practical! Debate on WHY is there a need for Khalistan and HOW is
such an independent state (or nation or whatever..) going to survive!

I am sorry that it became longer than I expected, could'nt help it.

ALL REPLIES AND DEBATES etc. SHOULD BE ON THE NET!!
