DomainNamesNZ

I've been getting a few good old snail mail letters from Domainnamesnz.com offering me to register domain names. Eg: I own learnbydestroying.co.nz and the "offer" is for learnbydestroying.net . How ever since these letters include; Reference #, MPID ? , Closing Date, Credit card details, and very little info to conclude that this is a Renewal many people have inadvertently paid the money ( $237 for two years ! ) thinking it's a Domainz or other registrar invoice. I'm not questioning the legality of this , as I am no expert, how ever im interested to know how so many of my clients and myself ended up with these letters? Anyone else experienced these letters or perhaps had clients pay for what they thought was a valid renewal?

It's not an old one and they didn't get it from Domainz. One of the domains I got a note about was only registered a few months ago via Freeparking. As an aside, this will work on some people. My wife (who is not unclueful) was opening the mail, handed me the nonvoices and said "Bills from Domainz. Do you want me to pay them online?" People will read what they think they see, no matter how much clue you throw at them.

I have also received a .net.nz 'renewal' for each of the three .co.nz domains that I have! You have to read very carefully before you actually realise that it is a proposal rather than a renewal.. :-( Paul Adshead Network & Systems Manager OTL Software Ltd www.otl.co.nz -----Original Message----- From: Dan Clark [mailto:dan(a)scarfies.net] Sent: Thursday, 7 August 2003 14:14 To: Matthew G Brown; nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz Subject: Re: [nznog] DomainNamesNZ yes, we have received around 1/2 a dozen so far, some of my clients got them directly and were just going to pay it! hrmm, in reading the small print on the back it also says something about not being able to change registrar's for a whole 60 days after 'transferring to them' Regards Dan Clark Network Manager Scarfies.Net Ltd Wickliffe Ltd ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matthew G Brown" <Matt(a)Brh.Co.Nz> To: <nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz> Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2003 2:09 PM Subject: [nznog] DomainNamesNZ > I've been getting a few good old snail mail letters from > Domainnamesnz.com offering me to register domain names.

disconectin users in a MAX TNT
by Robert Mena 06 Aug '03

06 Aug '03

Hi, I was wondering how can I disconnect a user from a MAX TNT ? With other RAS I could reset SXX where XX would be the session it is attached to. Unfortunately under MAX I could not find the proper command, reset, kill, drop, disconnect etc... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

2500 PS
by Jon Leeman 05 Aug '03

Thanks to all that responded to Andy's plea, on my behalf, for a 2500 series power supply. I've managed to find a supplier in NZ - a list member - and it should be here in a couple of weeks. In the meantime we got the box running per the solution at http://www.hardstaff.com/Computer/Cisco/index.html and it's been working for about a week now with no apparent problems. Cheers, Jon

IP to PSTN/Public network gateway.
by Gavin Legge [Invincible Technologies Limited NZ] 05 Aug '03

05 Aug '03

First question from a new list member (probably go straight to FAQ no?).... Does anyone know of a (preferably) New Zealand based provider that provides an 'IP' to 'public network' and back again gateway service (at a charge or otherwise)? Somewhere we can fire IP voice calls at, that will take the IP voice call and poke it out to the local number, local number being a normal everyday phone connected to the PSTN ? Thanks for any advice Regards Gavin Legge

Anybody got a spare 2500 power supply that Jon Leeman in Nauru can have for his 2509 dial in box? If there's a box that can be cannibalised that's fine. Include Jon on any replies if you can help. andy

Hi, I am trying to configure an already running MAX TNT with TAOS 8.0.2. I need to change the current pool and add a new pool. Does anybody have a howto for that ? I've searched and downloaded the PDFs but no luck so far... Regards. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
