Hey matey-peeps. Just letting you all know that I am right now listening to a multicast MP3 stream of BFM kindly casted over APE by IHUG (Thanks David). I'm still getting the greeblies out of my multicast routing, but it's getting there. So who else feels like putting up some content? (I was thinking of casting Triangle TV). Cheers. James Tyson.

Spammers like Xtra?
by Keith Davidson 06 Mar '01

06 Mar '01

Is anyone else experiencing problems with Xtra failing to take meaningful action against spammers? My ISP has had complaints about an Xtra user, computerkids(a)xtra.co.nz and traditional contact with abuse(a)xtra results in nothing more than slaps over the wrist with wet bus tickets. HISTORY OF UCE FROM Mark Lancaster Nightingale Press 335 Beechey Street, Pirongia Tel/Fax: 07 871 9691 Email computerkidz(a)xtra.co.nz First UCE from him received on 13 February. Complaint lodged abuse(a)xtra. Second UCE received on 18 February. Complaint lodged abuse(a)xtra Third UCE received on 7 March. Actual copy of UCE below sig. My complainant states: "I then rang Xtra (finally got through to Customer Support desk) and advised that I wished to verbally complain about one of their customers spamming and that I had laid complaints on two occasions and seemingly no action had been taken. The person on their help desk took the email address of the spammer and then advised me that this person had had two warnings and I should email abuse(a)xtra again. I said that was not satisfactory and wondered how many warnings one of their users had to get before any action was taken by xtra. The Help Desk clerk said he would check and put me on hold for a few minutes. When he came back he advised me that quite a number of warnings had to be issued before any action was taken. He suggested I filter the perpetrator and I told him that that didn't fix the problem. He asked if there was anything abusive or rude in the email and I advised that whilst there was nothing along those lines that I personally found uce offensive. He advised me to lodge a further complaint with abuse(a)xtra.co.nz and I told him that I had warned xtra on a previous occasion that if no action was forthcoming to solve the problem that I intended to take the matter further." Does anyone in Xtra take these issues seriously? It is just nonsensical for Xtra staff to suggest filtering etc - it doesn't stop the source. Is the $25 per month so important to Xtra's revenue that they wont take real action? Or does Xtra like being known as a "spam friendly" ISP? Most ISP's seem to work on "2 strikes and you're out", mine included. Just what does it take for Xtra to kick someone? Anyone else having similar problems from this quarter? Any suggestions of a method of escalating the issue that might get a resolution?

All the activities in this set of Blackline Masters are used to support lessons introduced by the teacher in class. The work presented on each page has been carefully designed to provide a different approach to maths by involving memory games , matching activities and it allows the child to offer reasoning for their answers and choices. It is designed to help children understand, consolidate and extend concepts and skills. The price is $29.95 per book and they are all available on approval.

NLX PSU's

Might be slightly off topic, but does anyone know where to source power supplies for NLX type PC cases? Insite used to have them, but since their merger with Renaissance, have obsoleted the product line. --- Matt Camp --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

Telecom Peering
by Tony Wicks 05 Mar '01

05 Mar '01

Hi all, I have been chasing my Telecom account Manager for months to get some progress on this, so I thought I would throw it out here and see where every one else is with this. We currently peer with all major ISP's and backbone providors over either or both WIX and APE. The notable exception being Telecom Netgate ( we do peer directly with Xtra on WIX ). We are paying Telecom currently for a PVC to Netgate for peering with them and I am unhappy for this to continue. ( especially as we have almost twice the outgoing traffic to them as we recieve from them ! ). I have had nothing more than "I'll get back to you" when attempting to initiate peering with Telecom ( not Xtra ). It seems very strange to me that Clear, Telstra and everyone else is responsive and happy to work for the greater good of the Internet users in the country, but Telecom only seems interested if someone else is paying for it. --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
