    Anyone tried unison?, i'm dialin kildare and it gives much better pings to bw than eircom, pl isn't great ,but overall though its better. Not very good for surfin either smile.gif

    So this is what i do now, use eircom for surfin and downloadin, and use unison for quake.

    Aren't unison the blokes that do web-tv?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 625 ✭✭✭Vincent


    Yep but they have a regular isp aswell

    Ok I gave Unison a try, and they're not too bad, a bit laggy on some UK servers, but not bad.

    with buyandsell - just create a dun thingie..

    dont bother with all the proxy ****e...

    nd its fine, although not sure how great it is, I was getting 200-300 pings last night on a wireplay server all night.

    Wireplay servers dont seem to behaving much lately..

    I tried both Unison and Buy+Sell.Net and I found both to be relatively okay, stable enough connections, decent pings...

    But for me Oceanfree and Indigo are much more stable and easier to connect to...

    CLI - Caller line identification ( i think )

    Alright mr.Smartguy, how do I enable that?

    I think you add some * code before the number you want to dial - check your phonebook. It is enabled by default with Eircom, but if your number is unlisted or you have requested no-CLI, it is disabled.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 359 ✭✭m1RV


    Still, CLI shouldn't make a difference, if it did, Buy And Sell Net just wouldn't connect at all.
    The pings arent that great either, people seem to be flocking from eircom to it :P.

    slightly off there Mirv lad..
    im just wondering why the **** i never thought o this one myself.. cuz with the esat account.. you HAVE to have CLI turned on.. if you dont have it on.. you can still use the nolimits thingy.. but its charged at the local rates and not free.. ive yet to try this on buy and sell but after the beers tonight ill give it a whirl..

    to turn on CLI.. simply add "142" to the number your dialin'.. ie like esat nolimits number is 133***** it should be 142133*****
    to turn on CLI on a private numbered phone..
    hope that helps..
