In fact this was a clever move by Telecom to prevent there share price sliding with everyone wanting to sell up at the same time. :-) -----Original Message----- > "The fault, which happened around 10am, also crashed the New Zealand > Stock Exchange..." This is hyperbole, surely? I'd be fairly shocked if the NZSE internal systems themselves could be "crashed" by a fault in an external vendor. Access to the system from external points may be impacted, of course, but even then I'd have to do the Dance of Stupid[1] if the NZSE public and secure networks only used a single network provider for everything.

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: media(a)telecom-media.co.nz <media(a)telecom-media.co.nz> Date: 20-Jun-2005 13:19 Subject: UPDATE – OUTAGE ON TELECOM NETWORK To: imcdnzl(a)gmail.com UPDATE – OUTAGE ON TELECOM NETWORK Telecom technicians have identified the two locations where the North Island Telecom network has today been damaged and are working to repair them. It is anticipated that a patch will be in place by late this afternoon, enabling the restoration of services. A large number of mobile, Internet and other data services have been affected. In addition, many voice calls on fixed lines are congested. The outage has been affecting customers since late this morning. Telecom is working to repair the outage as soon as possible. Telecom regrets the inconvenience to customers and will provide more information throughout the day. The outage, which occurred at 10.48am today, was caused by physical damage to the network on both the east and west coast sections of the network. Technicians are currently working on repairing both the eastern fibre break which is in the Rimutaka area, and the western break in south Taranaki. The outage is affecting calls to Telecom's own call centres, causing overloading. Telecom is asking customers to be patient. We will provide more information as soon as possible.

Help requested - Netscreen IP Sec VPN over DSL
by Felix Tsang 19 Jun '05

19 Jun '05

Can anyone please give me a pointer as to why I am having big problems with using a Safenet VPN client (conecting to) -> Netscreen VPN/FW appliance via Jetstart / UBS / Jetstream ? This is happening on multiple disassociated / unrelated networks. I am using mostly Dynalink RTA300 DSL Modems, and Netscreen 5XT / GT boxes. I believe it is something to do with the NZ DSL network as this type of VPN setup has worked well for over 1/2 years until it start to become more and more unreliable. Can anyone help or suggest a solution? Thanks for your time. Cheers Felix Tsang ULTRATECH Ltd Cell Phone: (64) 29 241 0185 Phone: (64 9) 309 8393 Fax: (64 9) 309 8393 Email: felix(a)ultratech.co.nz
