by Simon Lyall 30 Jan '01

30 Jan '01

As people may have heard this was offline for a week or two due to hardware failure. Anyway it's been backup for a few weeks again so I thought I'd remind people where it is. http://www.usenet.net.nz/noc/ Currently I have most major ISPs listed except for the Telecom group of companyies, anybody there who is able to give people a nudge could they please do so. Perhaps a pointer to the list could be included in this list's monthly posting. Please send any comments, updates or corrections to … [View More]

APE peering party....
by Matthew Grant 30 Jan '01

Hi HTere! I am currently the Network Administrator for Plain Communications (http://www.plain.co.nz/) in Christchurch.

We formed the first peering at APE with Clear Net when it started over a year ago. Next Friday we should have our router in the skytower upgraded to Zebra software (http://www.zebra.org/) from gated which means … [View More]

Spammer termination: Central Pacific Imports Ltd. (car.co.nz) (fwd)
by Alan Brown 25 Jan '01

25 Jan '01

This actually happened a couple of weeks ago, but usenet.net.nz has been down so I've been unable to post the notice. Central Pacific Imports Ltd, also known as Andre Blenkiron motors. We have terminated service to cpiltd(a)manawatu.gen.nz - this is/was the listed domain contact for cars.co.nz and a group of other domains registered through Ihug and elsewhere. The car.co.nz (*) domain has been spamming via email and usenet for some time, mainly from Xtra dialups. As soon as we became aware … [View More]of it(**) and the records linking it to our domain(***), we suspended the account and required that they sign a written agreement to cease posting unsolicited commercial email and Usenet posting from any ISP in order to regain their account on ours. Central Pacific Imports have refused to do so - this is a fairly good indication that they know they're spamming and have every indication of continuing to do so. CPI currently have a Paradise.net.nz connection, judging from attempts to access the disabled account. (*) No relation to cars.co.nz (**) Spam arriving in our traps on November 27th originating from Xtra, confirmed by Dejanews searches. (***) Whois lookups while preparing LARTS showed cpiltd(a)manawatu.gen.nz as the domain contact for this and several related domains. As can be seen here, Central Pacific Imports have changed their DNS contact. [whois.geektools.com] Query: car.co.nz Registry: whois.domainz.net.nz Results: % Domainz D.R.S.

RE: Wireless APE.
by derek 23 Jan '01

That is true, They do conform to 802.11 which is the 2.4Ghz standard for indoors. It is good up to about 2500 feet away from the transmission site. The further out you go the slower the connection will run. Saying that I have seen 15kms out of this stuff, but you may only get about 500k. It depends on the quality of the install and the antenna you use. If you wanted to do it with Lucent buy a Lucent AP not ROR or COR . I have some for sale second hand. Also have some old bronze cards(10 and … [View More]

The sky tower is about the worst place in Auckland to do wireless from. The amount of noise coming off the sky tower is very high. You will only be able to cover a small area with each Cisco bridge due to interference around the CBD. The Cisco gear works in the 2.4Ghz Unlicensed band. The max power output is 4 watts at the antenna. The best thing on your home end would be a Linux box with a PCI cradle and Cisoc PCI card.

James, Yes to (a), (b) (windows 13,14,15,16,17,18) - unless you are thinking of multiple antennae! and (c). Remembering of course that most of the cost is for international transit rather than the gear. However I'm sure that between us that wouldn't be a problem :)) I have already tested a Lucent Orinocco ROR1000 to my home (Bastion point) from the Sky Tower, Lvl 48 with great success. Don't forget the cost of the rental of window space for the antenna as well! ~benm ---------------------… [View More]

Same response as Juha's. I've always had an idea of having a wireless-internet or wireless LAN co-op after I read a slashdot story about it. The only prob I can see with this is the yearly rental of the space at the sky tower for the comms gear. Aparently it's a few thousand a year.
