Telecom Peering - Query
by Steve Phillips 16 May '01

16 May '01

Hiya, After bailing our Telecom account manager up about the latest excuse as to why Telecom are not willing to peer, it came back that the Tax Dept are claiming that the people peering at APE are committing tax fraud due to the traffic traveling across the APE link having a real dollar value associated with it. Telecom claim that the Tax Dept have contacted everyone about this issue and that we should all be paying each other for the privilege of peering in order to recover the costs associated with traffic across APE. Then each of us should be paying GST on the traffic to/from each of our peers. Can anyone out there verify this latest myth ? :-) We are apparently going to get an answer to this latest problem within the next 90 min's, I wonder what the next excuse will be.. To date (since I took over from Tony on the "beatup the account manager about peering" a few weeks ago) I have had: * There are legal issues * There is a contract you need to sign which we cant show you as Telstra and Clear said it was rubbish * We have the connectivity up there but are not allowed to use it yet (ironically this was a few hours after the post showing the interface traffic stats) * We are considering dropping the domestic service offering as it's not viable * The tax dept wont allow us (or anyone else) to peer as they require us to pay GST on the traffic I must say, if nothing else its entertaining watching the excuses.. -- Steve. --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

Anyone know of any magical IOS commands to kill -9 a process? :) Someone's managed to crash a couple of sessions on a router here while they're holding a lock on the nvram.

I almost forgot, the only IOS restriction on the "reload" command is enable access. I might add that this is for a for a very good reason too. Yeah...Righto Rog...!!! In peak hour traffic too... Why not !!?? > Anyone know of any magical IOS commands to kill -9 a process? :) Someone's > managed to crash a couple of sessions on a router here while they're > holding a lock on the nvram. Ahh. You want the "reload" command. However you may find that the "reload" feature is unavailable in your current version of IOS as it is a restricted feature set. Please upgrade to 12.2(1)XD. Cheers.

NNTP Access for APE connected machines.
by Mark Derricutt 13 May '01

13 May '01

Hi, I was wondering if any APE connected ISPs allow read/write NNTP access to other APE connected machines? Our connection here at work goes via Zivo, and I'm wanting to connect to a news server that carries comp.* and nz.*. Apologies if this is offtopic, but I thought this would be the best place to ask about such access.

Just to lower the S/N ratio even further, I am pleased to announce that enigma.cypher.co.nz is now registered for NS use at OpenSRS/Tucows. -- Andrew P.

Update to DNS question
by Gavin 11 May '01

11 May '01

Hi, Thanks to all those who responded to my DNS problem -- 2 weeks of dicking about, and finally some clear answers. For those who asked the details are: NZ domain: cypher.co.nz NS: enigma.cypher.co.nz IP: 202.37.176.1 .COM domain: cypher-international.com, and cypherinternational.com I simply want to point both of these back here. They are held by domains.com, also called dns4less.com, also called tucows.com, and I cannot pry our name off them for 60 days. The issue is more that they WONT add A record(s) until the nameservers are registered with the internic, and while I am aware that other US registrars (such as Network Solutions) can do this -- they can't/wont -- the nameservers have to be registered first. After 60 days I can pry our domain name off them and transfer it to someone useful, but for now..... This is what happens when over enthusiastic co-workers decide to establish a international presence without looking first...... Sigh. PS:- I am not a DNS expert -- I can only just swim in this end of the pool. -- Regards, Gavin Melville, gavin(a)cypher.co.nz --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
