NZNOG-People, I have just finished migrating all of the mailing lists held at The University of Waikato from one server to another. I don't have any reason to believe that anything's gone wrong, but please bear with me for today if it turns out that something has. - Donald Neal -- Donald Neal | Q: How many Aucklanders does it take to change Systems Programmer/Analyst | a light bulb?

We are considering upgrading the modem firmware in our cisco AS5200 to support V.90 connections. Anyone had any bad experiences with the combination? Russell --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

Try the most recent 12.0x release and see if that makes your problems go away. Experience says release start to get usable around about '10 and stable about '16 or so -- so you still have a while to wait. -cw --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

Whois.patho.gen.nz
by jabley＠automagic.org 17 Apr '00

17 Apr '00

I have been running a whois server on whois.patho.gen.nz for some time; this server was running before the Waikato-supplied whois.domainz.net.nz was made available, and presents its output in a ripe-181 compatible format, as per the current ISOCNZ policy on whois for NZ. [whois.domainz.net.nz uses a private format, presumably invented by Domainz]. whois.patho.gen.nz is a service that I run for free, and which, since 12 March, has attracted an average of just under 240 queries per day from all round the world. I hear the Waikato-run whois.domainz.net.nz receives a similar number of hits. It's very small and simple, and essentially retrieves a page of HTML from a UoW-supplied server using HTTP, and re-formats the data as ripe-181 to be presented via whois. <operational-content> When the Waikato system is turned down next month, whois.patho.gen.nz will stop working. The new system does not include provision for a whois service of any kind -- hence, at this time there will be no whois service for the NZ ccTLD. Anyone who currently depends on whois.domainz.net.nz, whois.patho.gen.nz or nz.whois-servers.net (which is a CNAME for tardis.patho.gen.nz) should investigate other means of obtaining access to the register. </operational-content> Note that I would be more than happy to modify whois.patho.gen.nz to provide continued service if someone from Domainz or Glazier could give me some pointers as to how I can pull the same information currently available at http://domainz.waikato.ac.nz/cgi-bin/DNZ-REGISTER?domain_name=foo.co.nz from the new system.

NZ MBONE

David Robb from IHUG and I have been talking about setting up a local MBONEesque system across APE or WIX, I was just wanting a show of hands as to who would want it, and how people think it should be implemented.

The initial link was between Waikato and here followed up by a similar link between here and Massey.

The theory was that there was sufficient spare capacity on the DSIR network to accomodate the DISR internal traffic and the University use.

(fwd) History of Internet in NZ

Off topic but this list seemed the most likely source of information to help me answer the query below. I think Jonathon Stone is now working for a US university. If anyone has any specific info on Jonathon or the old "backbone" that would be appreciated.

Well, I've just gone to 12.0(8) on a 3620, up from 11.3, and that difference is most pleasent. 11.3 did not crash, but had some, um, infelicities. I'm quite happy with 12.0(8). Of course, if you want a stable release, well the following may amuse you (although it's not strictly IOS of couse, its a Catalyst 2926).
