If you can manage to get them to do that, I'm sure a lot of us would like SNMP access to the IPNet NAS's we use...
Depends what type of DSL we're talking about. We (quicksilver) supply Jetstart, which uses quicksilvers bandwidth. This comes in from our upstreams (via ape), across our network to a cisco 2600, down a 2meg pipe to telecom, and out to the users. It would be fairly trivial to have a *nix box somewhere in the middle with some web-controlled firewall rules. Problems however, are that jetstart is dynamic IP's, and you would need some way of telling the firewall box that one user has disconnected, and another has connected, lest you end up with someone elses firewall rules. Would be messy, but i think it could be done... Jetstream, however, which AFAIK uses telecoms bandwidth directly, is much more of a problem. --- Matt Camp --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
