Luxury. We used to live in a paper bag... I remember using a 300 bps modem to connect to bulletin boards way back when.

In which case it was half the Internet - and if all we had was 14K for the whole country - well, say no more. Its debatable if that really was an Internet connection in the modern sense. 14K poses a significant restriction on what was actually possible, even back then. and yes - it is 14K each way - because a leased line is two pairs (four wires), not two wires like a home user has with a dial-up modem. It's a full duplex link, and yes we (cough) have moved along way in nearly 20 years, broadband may be faster on occasions. And not detecting a cariier - it can't detect the carrier signal from the modem at the other end - because both should see each others carrier. -----Original Message----- From: Perry Lorier [mailto:perry(a)coders.net] Sent: Friday, 2 June 2006 4:59 p.m. To: Jeremy Strachan Subject: Re: [nznog] What is this?

I think that means it's not "Pre Internet", it /was/ the Internet!

2400, 4800, 9600, and yes even 14.4K was possible, and 19.2K. It probably ran over leased (conditioned) dedicated lines. It looks like a 1987 date on the back to me ... It is probably both large and heavy.

Dear Colleague, This is to notify you that some object(s) in NZRR database which you either maintain or are listed as to-be-notified have been added, deleted or changed. These objects are used to configure the various NZIX route servers (http://nzix.net/) so you can expect the relevant servers to be reloaded in the near future. The reloading of the servers is staggered over a period of time so that if you are peering with both servers at an exchange, you can maintain at least one BGP session at all times and consequently a full set of routes. --- PREVIOUS OBJECT: route-set: AS9560:RS-ROUTES:AS10022 descr: advertised to AS9560 by Datacom - AS10022 members: 202.175.128.0/21^21-29, 202.14.20.0/22^22-29, 202.36.198.0/23^23-29, 192.203.216.0/24^24-29, 202.14.83.0/24^24-29, 202.27.76.0/24^24-29, 202.27.140.0/24^24-29, 202.27.143.0/24^24-29, 202.27.250.0/24^24-29, 202.36.233.0/24^24-29, 210.55.5.0/24^24-29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: idc(a)datacom.co.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20060210 source: NZRR REPLACED BY: route-set: AS9560:RS-ROUTES:AS10022 descr: advertised to AS9560 by Datacom - AS10022 members: 202.175.128.0/21^21-29, 202.14.20.0/22^22-29, 202.14.82.0/23^23-29, 202.36.198.0/23^23-29, 192.203.216.0/24^24-29, 202.14.84.0/24^24-29, 202.27.76.0/24^24-29, 202.27.140.0/24^24-29, 202.27.143.0/24^24-29, 202.27.250.0/24^24-29, 202.36.233.0/24^24-29, 210.55.5.0/24^24-29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: idc(a)datacom.co.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20060602 source: NZRR

I will check on the process when i wake up roughly 3.5 hours later.

Police Hoax Email
by Keith Davidson 30 May '06

30 May '06

Just a heads up for anyone not aware of this... Keith Davidson www.police.govt.nz/news/release/2445.html Hoax police email 10:03am 31 May 2006 A hoax email is circulating within New Zealand which purports to be a notification from NZ Police. The email has this subject line - "Notification from Police New_Zealand" The email is clearly a hoax but is causing some concern in the public with callers contacting police for clarification. The email suggests that recipients are "under suspicion of financial machination." It then asks receivers to fill in details and fax or email details. Police are investigating the email which does contain a trojan virus. The virus will be filtered out so long as computers have anti-virus software on their machines. Members of the public who are receiving the email with the subject line - "Notification from Police New_Zealand" - should simply delete it and do not need to contact Police about the matter. ENDS
