I wish I could say this is the exception not the rule. But in the past few years of coming back and forth to this country it is sadly more the rule. Thanks Mo for sharing Read More
USB Vonage Phone by Kmltn
I have a USB Vonage Phone that normally works through my Laptop. I am using a WIMAX connection in Tripoli and Vonage wont register to the central server. Does anyone know if there are any setting I need to change on the " EchoLife BM626 WiMAX CPE ...
I reset my WIMAX box by turning on and off. I do have access to the user interface on the box but I don't want to mess with the SIP or VoIP parameters without knowing what I am doing. I was here a year or so ago and it did work across ADSL. It ... Read More
Wimax connectivity issues since last night - Anyone??? by Siddiqui
My Wimax connection has gone on a blink since last evening. Anyone else having similar problems in Janzour area? Signal strength is showing normal connection. Account is active and enough capacity available - but no internet ...
It happened to me the other day and I found out I needed to put 40LD, for the month, on it because it had past the year mark on the initial purchase. I think I have to do this every month or figure out how to pay for the year in advance. K Read More

R&R Trip to Tunis by Kmltn
Been thinking of heading to Tunis for some R&R. Djerba is only 3 or so hours away. Is it worth it? If so can anyone recommend any night spots and hotels. Thanks K
I agree with erinman, I am sure there are other people interested in info on R&R places near Libya. Plus there is the extra info about requirements from the Libya side such as insurance for cars etc. Read More

Libya's driving me further down the slope of insanity by MoEl
Last night I had a dream in which I was standing in the middle of a large store that sold only organic fruits, vegetables and cheeses. I somehow knew that it was in Tripoli. I distinctly remember seeing rows of firm asparagus and large artichokes, ...
Hey Mo I know how you feel. Sounds as if you need some R&R state side. K Read More
Bringing prescription meds over as a tourist by Sea Angel
I was asked this question: If you are only coming 5 days and take 10 different kinds of prescriptions, what's the best way to bring them to Libya? If you brought each prescription bottle, they would only have 5 pills in them and you would have 10 ...
I am not sure it is a huge problem to bring in meds. As for the bottles and the doctorÂ’s note, I am sure the guys at the airport are not going to know the difference or care. If the meds aren't "mind altering" meaning Valium, Prozac etc you should ... Read More
