Got the router working and hooked up on the Internet again, before I went to bed. The customer’s ISP imposes non-default PPPoE parameters. which we sorted, but the ISP seems to not want SSH connections, so the packets need a change of tags. Against my hunger I am eating guave, nice baby bananas, and later avocado from the market. Phone battery went below 20%, and reminded me of getting home. I am going to post the journey story so far then. So return here a little later, funny and exciting things wait to get told and read.

FRITZ!Box 7390: a USB printer serving as network printer on a computer running Windows
The instructions in the (German) user manual imply, that the printer was first properly attached to the computer itself. The user manual explains, how to change the settings of the printer configuration, so that you can make use of that printer, which is now attached to the FRITZ!Box.
You can also install it as a network printer right away, but be patient and trust in the Windows set up wizzard.
Let it retrieve the complete list of printers from the Internet, in case your printers are as ancient as mine!
You won’t need to tell it, it’s port 9100, the Windows installation procedure takes just as long as it announced: several minutes. -
FRITZ!Box 7390 “20002484” with Annex A and Annex B and English GUI – it’s available right now
I got “mine” this afternoon, found it “somewhere” at the AVM headquarters like 10 minutes away from my place. I got officially numbered “1”. It’s going to get shipped to Martinique on Sunday (really!).
It comes with a German 220V power supply, “but” with modem and telephone “Bell” adapters. So I guess, you will have to get an appropriate power supply adapter yourself, depending on your country.
I would really love to keep one for myself, I love computers that talk to me in English, and a router/modem with Annex A wouldn’t be bad for the next holiday to “Annex A”-land. But then, the firmware for AVM’s flagship will always be best-maintained in German. And I do love to press the FRITZ!Box update button on my MT-F. A couple of minutes offline 3 times a week or even more often (you wouldn’t believe, how often they provide you with firmware updates!), and there you are: a newborn 7390!

my Twitter timeline at bedtime
I feel so much better, if I go to sleep pretty much in sync with my Twitter timeline. That just implies, it’s pretty unlikely, I will lose something, until I will be able to catch up again tomorrow in the early afternoon.
