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 ?

>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.

BEER LOSES TOP SPOT TO IPOD
by Richard Naylor 09 Jun '06

09 Jun '06

Just goes to show that the quality of education has dropped. BEER LOSES TOP SPOT TO IPOD For only the second time in ten years, drinking beer has been relegated to second on Student Monitor's biannual survey of what is "in" on campus, with iPods slotting in at number one. The only other thing to unseat beer: the Internet, in 1997. Eric Weil of Student Monitor said of the latest results of its Lifestyle and Media Study, "We knew iPods were pervasive on campus as a learning and entertainment device, but we didn't see it rating that high." Between spring 2006 and spring 2006, iPods jumped from 59 percent of students saying they were "in" to 73 percent. Rounding out the top ten spots on the survey are Facebook (which tied beer for second), drinking other alcohol, text messaging, downloading music, going to clubs, instant messaging, working out, and coffee. Dan Updegrove, vice president for information technology at the University of Texas at Austin, pointed out that the speed with which "Internet-based phenomena can emerge" accounts for having so many technologies on the top ten that did not even exist several years ago.

I'm sure this thread already ended with the below message, which was over 15 posts ago. Note how the person who asked the original question says that the suggested solution qualifies as an answer to his question, and he does not ask for any further information. Judging from this, it is fairly possible to come to the conclusion that you do not need to flame the shit out of each other with irrelevant messages telling JJ what a n00b he is. Everyone go back to bed now. Monday is days away.

Does anyone know if it is possible to connect to [something] at telecom via tcp/ip that allows message sending to alphanumeric pagers, or is that still only accessible via dialup modem to pacnet ?
