I can create 5 GB a night which I have to bring in to town (server) on a hard disk. It would be nice to be able to copy it over dsl from my home, but not pay International rates for the privilege. All the video is copyright to its owner who I do the work for ie original content. Current pricing holds (tiny) business back. rich

ok, sorry let me re-phrase that, what link speed or bandwidth does your solution support?

List Management Change
by Donald Neal 21 Aug '03

21 Aug '03

NZNOG People, To date I have been manually checking mail sent to this list from addresses which are not subscribed and accepting mail which looks relevant. The volume of spam or virus email sent to the list address has gone in the past week from dozens of messages per week to dozens per day. Since the number of relevant postings is now below 2% of those sent to the list from non-subscribed addresses, I intend shortly to cease to check such postings and to set the list to reject all of them. You are free to subscribe an address and set it not to receive mail if you wish to post from an address which is not your usual one.

ATM Recommendation
by Neil Fincham 21 Aug '03

21 Aug '03

Hi All, I have a client that has asked me to recommend a router to connect their Ethernet network to Telecoms ATM system. I don't know all that much about ATM, and I told them that but I thought I would ask you guys. What would you recommend as a low-cost entry ATM device? Better yet has anyone got something suitable that they want to sell on for cheep? Thanks -- Neil Fincham <neil(a)integrals.co.nz>
