I know at least one of those major players doesn't use satellite out of Dunedin, and they use BCL for their backup already. I think you'll find there is two ways out, at best. -----Original Message----- From: Drew Whittle [mailto:drew(a)earthlight.co.nz] Sent: Monday, 12 June 2006 9:46 a.m. To: tony(a)prophecy.net.nz Cc: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz Subject: Re: [nznog] Anyone know why power is down?

Cheers, I thought the same about the tx and rx gain but the option is there?

Re: [nznog] What is this?

Are you sure about that? The 9k6 leased line was run on a pair of Paradyne error correcting leased line Async Modems, which John Houlker smuggled into New Zealand stating it was a computer, off the top of my head. The Paradynes were ditched personally by me, after I found them hidden under the raised flooring in the Comms room at the back of the Computer Room. They were sitting beside the old router, the name of which I can't remember anymore, which was a PC chassis, before that was replaced by the Cisco MGS which ran the internet from when it was upgraded to the 64k Synchronous Serial link. If they indeed came from UoW, you would need to check with John Houlker as to whether they were ever turned on or not, I'm not aware of when the Net in NZ ran at 14k4, but that was a wee bit before my time.

One of the guys around here had it propping up his TV after deciding it just couldn't be thrown out. It's a 14k4 modem, I believe it's for leased line operation (haven't plugged it into a serial port to find out). After we powered it on we noticed the "110v" label on the back, maybe running it at 240v means it'll run at 28k8? :) It complains about "Carrier Not Detected" for some strange reason. _______________________________________________ NZNOG mailing list NZNOG(a)list.waikato.ac.nz http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/nznog

Re: [nznog] Is there a Telecom paging tcp interface at all ?
by Roger Williams 10 Jun '06

>use an SMS transport provider (*cough* ..) >who can also reach the 026 network via SMPP. Small typo. That's SNPP. http://www.snpp.info/ http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1861.html So, does Telecom provide a public gateway to their paging system that speaks SNPP? If so, that might be what Ian was looking for in his original post. Roger

Does Telecom's "AirPage" qualify? "AirPage is a Telecom service, which allows you to receive short e-mails on your alphanumeric pager from anywhere in the world." http://www.telecom.co.nz/content/0,8748,201412-201962,00.html -- Roger Williams, GNS Science, New Zealand : www.gns.cri.nz

spamming the list
by Ian Batterbee 09 Jun '06

09 Jun '06

As the person who started the topic about sending to alphanumeric pagers, I feel partly responsible for the resulting p*ss*ng contest that some of the list members have found necessary. To them I say, there's no need for personal abuse on this list - if you disagree with someone else's decision to buy a $700 box then that's fine, but I'ld much rather my inbox wasn't full of messages about who is right and who is wrong. Thanks.
