Count me in as interested/keen, etc. I have the stuff running at home, but haven't had time to bring it into work yet. Do you want to stay with MBONE or use the H.323 stuff thats out there. My experience is that the H.323 stuff is faster and gives better results. I was planning to have an H.323 device in next week which will host a conference call, and have auto answer, and have a TV channel on it so that you can see the latency. Only problem is some copyright issues with the content so it might have to be a live camera from the office or a video tape on a loop. rich richard.naylor(a)citylink.co.nz This mail message contains information that is confidential and which may be subject to legal privilege.

[dangerously off-topic] Government to Regulate Routing!
by Joe Abley 22 Feb '00

22 Feb '00

** Quite Possibly of Negligable Operational Interest ** The Herald has an article about the Telecoms review being carried out (or to be carried out, give me a break, it's early): > The inquiry's brief is to examine interconnection issues, the Kiwi Share > obligation -which guarantees free local calling - number portability > and administration, management of internet traffic and the > development of New Zealand as a knowledge economy. "Management of internet traffic" was the phrase that caught my eye. If this review strays into the issues of routing, traffic filtering and peering at the packet layer, then I am scared. Mind you, this is probably the Herald quoting some government press release, so I wouldn't necessarily expect any the terms contained within it to be accurate. Anyway, just thought I'd share this. Please feel free to return to your usual network-wrangling activities. --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

NZNOG-People, Yes, it seems restricting postings to subscribed addresses does create substantial inconvenience. I have now turned this off again. My thanks to all of the people who reminded me what a poor MUA I'm using. If I had any plans to do anything about this, I wouldn't be able to tell you about them.

RE: More on DDOS Attacks
by Donald Neal 22 Feb '00

At one stage we tried 12.0(5)T on 5 different boxes, all five failed with different faults ;-) 12.0(7)T1 is apparently the last in the 12.0T stream with 12.1 being its replacement (apparently within a couple of weeks). I think you should go to 12.0(7)T1 if you need T features.

[bb@nsimail.com: Regarding Webmail]
by Joe Abley 21 Feb '00

21 Feb '00

In case anybody is still in any doubt as to the sensitivity of these webmail.net.nz people to the issue of spam, see attached message. Apparently it is ok for webmail.net.nz to send commercial, unsolicited mail because it is "useful information", as opposed to other unsolicited, commercial e-mail which is apparently not. Ho hum. File under "moron spam haven" and take appropriate precautions. Joe ----- Forwarded message from bb(a)nsimail.com ----- From: bb(a)nsimail.com Date: 21 Feb 2000 20:50:40 -0800 X-Sent: 22 Feb 2000 04:50:40 GMT To: jabley(a)patho.gen.nz X-Mailer: Web Mail 3.5.1.4 Subject: Regarding Webmail Hi Joe, We have had great feedback and alot of people have joined our service from the general public. We have been offering this state of the art free service to anyone who wishes to use it, and have been astounded by some harsh responses from people who themselves work in the industry. We have offered leading edge technology in NEW ZEALAND for new zealanders and cannot understand some of the hostile responses we have had, almost all from IT proffesionals, when we have had such a great response from the general public. Because of the pressure put on us by a few in the industry we will not be emailing anybody else but feel that the issue of spamming is such a grey area that useful information is being put in the same circle as email suggesting you buy a ticket to africa at your local travel branch in Vancouver. I am sorry if i have caused undue stress by emailing you, but it was only our intention to inform nz'ers of this superior technology that is free for them to operate as they please.

Both myself and Andrew Donkin here at Waikato have been hit. I was contemplating the fact that they may have just crawled over 'waikato.ac.nz', but then there have been a quite a few people down my corridor that haven't been hit. I'm not sure what source (or part of source) that they've used, but it looks like I'm tending towards it being only the list server, rather than our whole site. Our headers were : From: reply(a)webmail.net.nz Received: from shiraz.x.co.nz (210-55-40-205.adsl.xtra.co.nz [210.55.40.205]) by mailserv.waikato.ac.nz (8.9.3/8.9.0) with ESMTP id NAA13378 for <geofft(a)waikato.ac.nz>; Tue, 22 Feb 2000 13:08:27 +1300 Received: from www.webmail.net.nz ([192.168.0.106]) by shiraz.x.co.nz (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id MAA27843 for <geofft(a)waikato.ac.nz>; Tue, 22 Feb 2000 12:27:41 +1300 if that helps track down the culprit. The domain 'webmail.co.nz' is owned by 'Andrew Prast <andrew(a)prast.net>', and seems to be registered via ICONZ (using their nameservers). As for 'x.co.nz', we are also talking ownership by Andrew Prast, but this time with the email address of 'andrew(a)nz.com'. This domain seems to be registered via WebNZ Ltd. And yet there's an Xtra ADSL dialup connection in the mix. Does this gel with the messages that you received?
