Message From Principal General Manager Telcom Coimbatore. (08 - 03 -1999)

Dear Customer ,

In our endeavour to improve Internet access we have recently added additional 64 PSTN Lines for TCP/IP Account at Coimbatore node. To some extent this has eased conjestion and I hope now you are able to access the Net easily.

To improve the access further, we have opened a seperate access code 172225, only for VSNL email Accounts. This is only for TCP/IP accounts and web surfing is not possible. As you know, email transmissions are of short holding time and provision of seperate route for these will result in better utilisation of the Net.

Coimbatore Internet node is the first to introduce this facility among the nodes operated by DOT.
I will be thankful for your feedback on the measures we are taking to improve the services.
Your comments may kindly be mailed to us.

Thanks & Regards,

Additional Dial Up Access Lines For Internet (03 - 03 - 1999)

The number of lines for the Internet access (TCP/IP Account) at Coimbatore has been increased by 64 lines. The access code remains the same viz. 172222.

Calling Line Identification (CLI )

On the eve of the Republic Day (26 Jan'99) Coimbatore Telecom has launched two services to its Customers.This facility is made available in E-10 B and AXE Type Electronic Exchanges at present. The exchange codes and whom to contact to get the facility are given in Annexure I.

In this facility, if the CLI device is attached to the telephone it will display the telephone number of the calling telephone including STD Code.

Due to technical reasons in some type of exchanges and the network, ID of some calls may not be available.

The facility is likely to be made available in other types of exchanges in Coimbatore District, during the course of next six months after completion of software modifications.

The CLI device should be procured and installed by the subscribers themselves.

Tariff for the service:

Rs.50/- for activation/deactivation and

Rs.50/- monthly fee.

Internet Access for ISDN Customers: (Integrated Services Digital Network).

The internet node at coimbatore caters to only normal telephone customers.

To provide access to the NET for ISDN Customers of Coimbatore and Tiruppur, a special router is now provided.

Internet Tariff for ISDN Customers is given in Annexure II.

Internet Expansion

The Internet node at Coimbatore is being augmented by additional 60 lines by mid February '99.

A high capacity Internet Server is expected to be commissioned in Coimbatore in about six months.
