Idiots @ Consumers Institute
by Michael Hallager 21 Jan '02

Hi all, Here is another example of those "holier than thou" idiots at the Consumers Institute making official type/sounding comments on stuff they know nothing about: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/storydisplay.cfm?storyID=787311&thesection=techno… I assume that these are the same people who love "cheap" Internet Access, while forgetting the price/performance equation. Now they seek to put even more burden on the average low/no-profit ISP. Sorta reminds me of the show "Target" a little while back. Their technical xpurt amounted to no more than a television presenter/actor and their "investigations" for the most part are highly questionable in regards to honest and accurate reporting IMHO.

InternetNZ (or more specifically its Vice-President Rick Shera) noticed a few days ago the possible ramifications of the law where ISPs can be caught in the middle between telcos and customers. Rick has put in a submission to the select cmte. ISPs and others could ask the Cmte Clerk if they can put in a late submission (they were due in by 15th). The Clerk is Marie Alexander, e-mail: SC-Commerce(a)parliament.govt.nz and phone: 64 4 471 9532. InternetNZ will make an oral submission on the bill also. Possibly an interested ISP could ask to be part of the delegation (adds credibility to have actual ISP there). Any examples etc of how this will unfairly penalise ISPs for things not under their control could forward such material onto Rick or Sue Leader.

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/storydisplay.cfm?storyID=787311 " Residential internet users who suffer email delays, network outages or slow connection speeds will gain the right of redress against service providers under a proposed law change." This law will hold ISPs liable for delays in e-mail delivery even when the delays are associated with a remote network over which the ISP has no control. I believe that at this point we start talking of concerted information campaigns aimed at those wonderful employees of ours, to get this particular section of the law ammended or removed. -- Matthew Poole "Ever wondered why cemetaries raise the cost of burials then blame it on the cost of living?" - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

I will volenteer to help. Call me conservative, but I would like to see a very successful small gathering that leaves us all wanting more (option1) rather than a large event that burns out the organisers, pauper the participants and satisfies no-one. I guess I am of the walk before you run camp.

That way we get to focus on content. Fair enough. I think we have from here four options. 1/ Organise something small. I'm not hearing any clear enthusiasm for that. 2/ Seek to have a stand-alone event organised by somebody else. The University of Waikato have made a credible offer to do this. They have experience of event organisation and have a venue which is likely to be suitable. We could accept that offer, or 3/ it may be possible to persuade one of the companies which have offered to assist with organisation to take on a primary role in that work. My impression is that NANOG rotate organisational work among a variety of corporate "hosts" as their gatherings move to different North American centres. 4/ Run an event within a larger event. In practice for this year this would mean the UniForum NZ conference. This is scheduled (with a final choice of hotel pending) to take place in Auckland in early to mid July. (The school holidays run 29 June - 14 July.) The convenor has suggested that NZNOG run a stream over a Thursday and Friday, with format and room requirements negotiable. The main conference seems likely to run Thursday - Sunday. There would be an option for people to register only for the Thursday and Friday. In any case, we would be aiming to keep under the sort of cost figure Roger De Salis has mentioned. I believe we could now proceed by accepting one of options 1, 2 or 4 and at the same time appoint a group of people to liaise with others involved and to coordinate a programme. Or we could appoint a group and leave the choice among options 2, 3 and 4 to them. Thoughts?

(Cheap) Wireless bridging options ?
by Simon Byrnand 20 Jan '02

20 Jan '02

Hi Wireless guru's (he says hopefully :) In the next month or so I'm in need of a simple Wireless Bridge setup to temporarily Bridge the Ethernet's of two buildings for about 2 days. The distance is under 500 metres, and it must be bridged, not routed. I already have on hand a variety of old and new 802.11b wireless gear (Lucent/Orinoco) so I'd like to use what I have if possible. In particular I've got a couple of Lucent Wavepoint-II access points sitting around spare. The catch is that the normal access point firmware will not bridge between two access points, it will only connect to client stations. The client cards I have are also Lucent (Silver) cards, and those cannot do bridging as a client, as either the driver or firmware (probably the firmware) on the card doesn't allow it. (Believe me, I've tried, unless I've missed some trick :-) So I seem to have a few options: 1) Get the "Remote Outdoor Router" firmware and enabling keys for both access points - this would allow them to bridge two networks, but the cost is high - a bit of searching on the net and the lowest price I could find was around $800 NZ *each*. ~ $1600 for something that is only going to be needed for a couple of days is out of the question. 2) Some trick to be able to bridge with a Silver card being used in a "client" role. (No luck finding anything yet) 3) Abandon the Lucent cards and find some other card whose drivers allow bridging, and set up a linux machine (or linux boot disk) that will bridge between that card and the ethernet. Assuming the brand of card will connect to the Lucent Access point, the access point can do the bridging at the other end. If that wouldn't work, I'd need two of that kind of card and two PC's...(the PC's and the Linux boot disk aren't a problem, I'm pretty fluent in Linux) 4) Something else ? Any suggestions from those a bit more versed in Wireless techniques gratefully received..

Wanted!

Hi all, I would like to purchase a link (256k?) with IP addresses from an ISP with an ATM located in the Auckland area. Virtual ISP's and those reselling other's services (IOW: Do not own their own infastructure) need not apply. Also, this is not to be confused with a post that I made, of a similar nature, but for a different requirement, about 3 months ago. I can be contacted in confidence via E-Mail. Please include your contact details.
