Port 0 Probe
by Ray Chow 10 Sep '03

Hi All, I was wondering how useful is port 0 beside some Unix program requires it and OS finger printing. What effect it will create if the port is blocked?

TelstraClear PPPoE
by Philip D'Ath 10 Sep '03

10 Sep '03

I've been told that TelstraClear have commenced using PPPoE over their ADSL now, instead of PPPoA. I produce a series of sample configs for Cisco routers for DSL, which can be found at: http://www.ifm.net.nz/cookbooks/ I would like to get a sample Cisco config for a Cisco 837 from TelstraClear (or any Cisco DSL router), and add it to my WWW pages. Could someone from TelstraClear contact me offlist with this info please. Philip D'Ath CCNP, CCDA, BCMS http://www.ifm.net.nz/

Volunteers to present are, of > course, welcome. I'd like to see a few practical type presentations from people, things like "How we use Oracle and BitKeeper to maintain our router configs" sort of things. A couple of people I talked to at Uniforum had some cools ways of installing and maintaining their servers for example[1] . I've seen a few technical type conferences where they have 5 or 10 minute talks on short topics. This might be a good thing for people to stand up and give a quick talk on "p2p kazaa proxy servers " or "Trends in errors in Herald IT articles" or something. So if you know something that other people might be interested in but you don't want to talk for a whole hour then you could do one of those. Maybe something about IPV6 or Multicast telling people why they should deploy it on their networks from a revenue perspective :) How about someone from Telecom giving a bit of a talk on IPnet, how it's designed, how ADSL and dialup gets from the customer to the ISP etc? Most of us have to interact with it but I've only picked up the odd bit here and there rather than a nice outline (including how each dept (NCC, Netgate, CRC etc) fits in) . [2] VOIP seems to be getting a bit more mature now so maybe a talk or two in that area. [1] One thing I noticed from Uniforum was that a lot of people run "Debian everywhere except for the Oracle Servers" , Interesting trend to see since Debian doesn't get much press. [2] Someone will probably give the URL for the uptodate document that does this now. -- Simon J.

I believe in April next year (or sometime close to then,) you will be able to get your landline from Telstra-Clear in Auckland. I wonder what the prices will be like?? It's all good for customer choice and competition! :-) Regards, Paul Adshead Network & Systems OTL Software Ltd www.otl.co.nz -----Original Message----- From: Dan Clark [mailto:dan(a)scarfies.net] Sent: Wednesday, 10 September 2003 12:57 To: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz Subject: [nznog] OT: www.telecon.co.nz Just out of interest, has anyone else come across this site? www.telecon.co.nz I am not sure weather they are all for Telecom's Monopoly approach or if they are against.

Router Info
by Tikiri Wicks 09 Sep '03

09 Sep '03

Be gratefull if anyone can give me a pointer here... I need a router with 14 fibre ports. The thing is I don't want to spend 25,000 Plus on a router like a Cisco 4000 series or a top of the line Nortel. We don't need terrabits of routing capability and hundreds of wan ports etc.. What I'm looking for is a router than can do full layer 4 routing on 14 fibres, each running at no more than 100 Mbps. Any ideas ? Cheers Tikiri
