InternetNZ releases ENUM Personal User Agent Prototype software u nder Open Source BSD Licence.

InternetNZ releases ENUM Personal User Agent Prototype software under Open Source BSD Licence. http://www.internetnz.net.nz/public/enum/pua/2005-07-pua-media-release.html InternetNZ announced today the release of its ENUM "Personal User Agent" prototype source code under an Open Source BSD Licence. The release hopes to encourage developer support of an ENUM initiative in New Zealand. The code is available from http://www.internetnz.net.nz/public/enum, as well as Reports prepared by the Task Force and a limited quantity of CDs. Subscribe to a public information list at http://farsight.internetnz.net.nz/mailman/listinfo/enum. ENUM is a set of Internet protocols, mapping telephone numbers onto the Internet naming system. Existing email addresses, web sites and alternate telephone contact addresses can be attached to this ENUM record. This record can be used by suitable handsets or (pabx type) computer programs to contact the number holder. ENUM is in government approved trial or production in approximately 30 countries. "Personal User Agents" (PUA) are software programs which act like firewalls; automatically filtering requests for ENUM contact information and deciding what information to release and how incoming calls will be directed based on rules that look at the inbound identity of the caller. This protects the consumer from address harvesting or privacy breaches. In theory every existing and future telephone number in the world could be ENUM provisioned. This provides a massive legacy base on which commercial PUA software can be built. Following completion of an ENUM PUA UCI Feasibility Study at the beginning of 2005 the prototype was developed by Catalyst IT (http://www.catalyst.net.nz), of Wellington, for InternetNZ. The PUA prototype was linked to another module known as the "Universal Communications Identifier" (UCI) which can bind an individual's name and service requirements to ENUM records and then be accessed by other PUAs. InternetNZ's combination of PUA, UCI and ENUM has attracted the interest of Europe's Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) who have referred InternetNZ's work to the European Commission. Future ENUM PUA software will enable users to opt-in to security services that will restrict publication of contact (email etc) information to anonymous callers and will permit intelligent routing of calls based on the relationship of the receiver to the caller and possible cost optimization of call termination and also increasing the rate of successful call completion for the networks. There are significant international opportunities for software developers to incorporate ENUM with PUA features into their existing communications software and directory services. InternetNZ anticipate that a number of software companies will work co-operatively to develop compatible systems that will compliment each other on different niche markets such as PUAs in the Telco-network, ISP, corporate business, SoHo and individual markets. Co-operating with the Government, Telecommunication Carriers Forum and applications developers, InternetNZ will participate and facilitate a New Zealand ENUM Trial over the next year that will provide a platform to test, demonstrate, commercialize applications and integrate ENUM to deliver economic advantage to the New Zealand community. InternetNZ welcomes enquiry from anyone interested in undertaking ENUM development work and participating in the Trial.

Last minute bandwidth need - AKL
by Richard Naylor 15 Aug '05

15 Aug '05

Evening All, We have been asked to handle a "last minute" webcast request and my usual bandwidth suppliers aren't answering the phone (its 5:15pm). Anyone with 1-5Mbps bandwidth available at AKL Town Hall on Sunday 21 August please contact me off list or on 021 897 089. There is a budget. I only need bandwidth back to APE, so anyone with a wireless link to the Sky Tower will be fine. 1 Mbps will be fine also, but more is also nice :-) Rich

VPN over Australian Telecom TG3 network and Cisco PIX IOS 6.3(1)
by Tushar Panchal (DSLWN) 15 Aug '05

15 Aug '05

Hi all, Just wanted everyone to be aware that when a user connecting via a Cisco Secure VPN client from Australian TG3 wireless network to a Cisco PIX running the code 6.3(1) it will cause the PIX to reload. Therefore, please upgrade to 6.3(4) if you are experiencing this problem. Not exactly sure why this happens but we are currently looking into it. The error on the PIX will be point to the ISAMKP receiver service. Cheers, Tushar

Hiya All, Please forgive the off topic post. Could I ask please for someone to contact me off list if your organisation is able to provide a corporate level internet connection for our company in Albany on the Shore. We currently have a flat rate 10Mb fibre link for our whole building (multiple businesses) and we are looking to separate ourselves from that with a similar high speed link, this is an info gathering exercise at this point, after gathering the various offers and proposals we will make a final decision. Many thanx in advance for your help. Cheers Gav
