Regrettably, the offer of an MBONE connection that was made to me has been withdrawn, due to a lack of response from the New Zealand community, specifically regarding candidates to provide MBONE administration and bandwidth.
At the time this was raised, I offered colo in the cabinet next to the APE, IPv4 transit and some admin...
I thank James Tyson, Roger de Salis, Rich Taylor, Andy Linton, Michael Sutton, and Shane Cole for their efforts and expressions of serious interest and support - especially Roger for the generous offer of a router, and Rich for providing rack space.
If there's a donated router going, send it up and I'll get it installed. Finding an upstream tunnel termination point is not hard, and we can get something sorted out quickly once we have a box installed.
Given such support I will certainly do my best to locate another major MBONE feedpoint for New Zealand; it is disappointing, though, this opportunity has passed NZ by.
I'm still not entirely sure why :) Joe --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
