www.jetstream.co.nz branding Xtra after Telecom Web Site Change
by Craig Whitmore 29 Aug '01

29 Aug '01

Hi everyone... I've noticed after Telecom have revamped their new web site they are now pushing alot for Xtra on the Jetstream Web Site (http://www.jetstream.co.nz). Before the change.. it used to be "ISP Neutral", but now.. its Xtra, Xtra, Xtra :-( I don't know what other people (ISP's including) think.. but I think it should be back to how it was, not pushing any particular ISP, but explaining the service and then giving a list of ISP's to go to get Jetstream from. The First sentence "Get fast Internet access with JetStream. Join Xtra - New Zealand's leading Internet Service Provider." makes it look like Xtra is the only ISP who can offer the service. then "Get online with Xtra"... etc etc Even the links to order it.. make it look like Xtra only as it asks if you want as part of SkyFi as you can only get SkyFi by using Xtra as your ISP I talk for myself with these comments, not anyone I work with/for Thanks Craig Whitmore http://www.nzdsl.co.nz New Zealand DSL Information --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

fastnet... dns problems
by Chris Wedgwood 28 Aug '01

28 Aug '01

Sadly, I am still inflicted with Fastnet (ASB Bank's banking service) which by-and-large works most of the time except when I need it. Anyhow... I tried this a few minutes ago (www.asbank.co.nz) and couldn't get very very far, www.fastnet.co.nz works and closer examination shows the name-servers for asbbank.co.nz don't reply with anything useful for it... [1] So here is something fun... the name-servers are dead (or very lame at best), it's early in the morning (I tried this initially earlier this morning) and phones don't work... with no DNS, I can't email. Anyone know of a magic number to call? --cw [1] Insert standard rant, al la RFC2182 --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

Anybody else having problems reaching hotmail ? I've been getting a TTL exceeded from p1-1.akbr2.global-gateway.net.nz (or similar) for the last 20 minutes or so, and yet all the other international sites I can think of seem fine....

BNZ Buyline client interface ??????
by John Lynch 25 Aug '01

25 Aug '01

Hi has anyone out there written a BNZ buyline client interface ? At this point I have downloaded the source code and written a client that sends a purchase message to the test system we have been setup on. The server responds with NX invalid currency code. The instructions I have received clearly states that a currency code must be included with a purchase request. I do not see anywhere in the supplied code provisions for including this information, to implement this myself it's seems to me I would have to change the supplied code right down at the packet construction level. I am sure this is not necessary and have missed something simple. Any help much appreciated.

They now automatically cancel all tranfsers unless the name holder contact responds positively to an e- mail from NSI asking if they are happy with the change. The ICANN Registrars mailing list has more details. Registrars are having hundreds and thousands of requests cancelled by NSI. NSI claim you have five days to respond but often their e-mails don't go out until Day 4 etc. SOme registrants have tried three times to transfer with no luck.
