(fwd) Re: NOTICE TO ALL (fwd)
by Matt Camp 02 Jun '01

02 Jun '01

Posted to nz.net.admin: -- forwarded message -- I think that this will clear it all up. As the letter was sent to ALL MIS cutomers I will presume that it is not confidential in anyway, if it is I humbly appologise Alan. ######################################################################## The rumour mill is doing overtime, so it is time to make some announcements. 1: Manawatu Internet Services Ltd is closing down. 2: There will be no loss of service for MIS or Flatnet customers. The last 9 years of operation of Manawatu Internet Services Ltd (Dawghaus BBS up until 1994) have been enjoyable and entertaining, however the stress levels associated with operating a small ISP have been taking their toll on my health for the last 2-3 years and it really has become time to move on to different fields. Mercury Telecommunications Ltd have acquired all MIS operations and will take over all DNS hosting, Webhosting and dialup accounts previously handled by Manawatu Internet Services Ltd. I am aware that almost all MIS/MFN customers have been with us for a long time, so I have been at pains to ensure that the best deal has been struck for our customers. For 95% of MIS dialup clients, the transition will be seamless. The exceptions are those people running Windows 3.* or Macintosh machines, as these machines have nameserver settings manually entered and will need to be edited. Please contact me for more details if you feel you will need assistance to change things. There are also 5-10 account names which clash with existing Quicksilver account names so changes may need to be made for checking mail - we're still working out how to resolve this small problem. Noone will have any changes made to their email address. As a great benefit of the changeover, national dialup coverage will again be available and Mercury also offer some very good toll deals. The changeover of dialup access will take place during the coming week and official notice from Mercury Telecommunications will be sent by paper mail to all MIS/MFN clients shortly. If you have any queries, please contact me by email, or by phone. I extend my thanks to all clients for their support over the years and I hope that you will all continue to support your new ISP - they _will_ provide you with continued good service and support. Alan Brown Director, Manawatu Internet Services. -- end of forwarded message -- --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

NZ BGP stats
by Joe Abley 30 May '01

30 May '01

I'd like to collect some BGP data from NZ ISPs to see if I can see the same trends in RIB growth, de-aggregation and multi-homing that other people are seeing in other parts of the world. An NZ perspective might be interestingly different because of the history of pervasive peering that is absent from other environments. If possible, I'd like to take as full a BGP feed as possible from as many people as possible. Something like this, in fact: router bgp xxxx neighbor 202.89.128.76 description jabley(a)automagic.org neighbor 202.89.128.76 remote-as 65517 neighbor 202.89.128.76 ebgp-multihop 254 neighbor 202.89.128.76 send-community or perhaps protocols { bgp { group jabley { type external; description "jabley(a)automagic.org"; peer-as 65517; multihop ttl 254; neighbor 202.89.128.76; } } if that suits you better. If anybody thinks they might be happy to send me some data like this for a while, please let me know. Thanks!

As anybody noticed any recent excess local search engine traffic. Since saturday we suddenly seem to be 'heavily indexed' by 203.97.86.133 (aka: ASDF Search NZ) and 210.48.127.49 (aka: kupe.searchnz.co.nz). It's quite obvious on our traffic graph between midnight and 6:30 am.

Telecom "Size Core" Phone lines
by Chris Rigby 28 May '01

28 May '01

I just had to deal with Telecom over a customer of ours who was having trouble getting connected and I was wondering if anyone here had experience with or had heard of the excuse Telecom gave me. The customer in question lives on Wahiki Island and cannot connect to our pool at anything greater than 13200 (if that). After excluding all the usual problems (bad lines, bad modem etc etc) we opened a fault with Telecom who quite happily informed us that the reason it wouldn't connect at a decent speed was that the homeowner was on "Size Core" lines instead of normal phone lines, due to being so remote. When pressed for an explanation the person in question could only tell me that "It was a method for making 8 home lines go over a single normal line". They said they couldn't give me a better explanation and didn't want to hand me to someone who could. And that was pretty much that. Has anyone else had any experience with this sort of technology (or lack of it) and could anyone shed anymore light on the widespereadness of it's use and if it's going to become more so.
