VZ and VZW are completely separate (from an SMTP point of view)
by Steven J. Sobol 23 May '05

23 May '05

To get an answer on the VZW mail filtering issue, we'd have to talk to a mail admin at Verizon Wireless, as described by my acquaintance at Verizon Online. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 20 May 2005 09:45:00 -0500 From: <REDACTED(a)verizon.net> To: Steve Sobol <sjsobol(a)JustThe.net> Subject: Re: [Fwd: VerizonWireless.com Mail Blacklists] Steve, Verizon Wireless is a completely different animal with no, repeat no, relation to VOL at any business or technical level other than being owned by the same mother ship. That would definitely include SMTP or any other mail related protocols transiting my platforms. I have no idea what kind of filters or block lists they use. I will make some inquiries but don't hold your breath, they really are a seperate entity from the trenches perspective. Please do not put my info on NANOG. Thanks.

ATT Weirdness?
by William R. Charnock 23 May '05

23 May '05

Greetings, Sorry to interrupt your weekend - but is anyone else noticing any problems with ATT? I'm seeing some strange latency on intermediate hops from Dallas - almost like there's a strange routing convergence problem or something. Anyway - if anyone else is seeing issues, could you please let me know (off-list)? Thanks William Charnock Sr. VP Engineering and Operations The Planet Internet Services

what will all you who work for private isp's be doing in a few years?
by Matt Bazan 21 May '05

21 May '05

why in the world would anyone want to purchase dsl from a private reseller when i can get 4mb down 384 up from comcast for $25? think you dsl resellers out there are doomed. in fact, just a matter of time before most of you isps are down the toilet. im reminded of the mom and pop grocery store phenomenon that has now been replaced by the kohls, a&p, whole foods etc. of course there will always be niche markets but this is less applicable for a pure commodity like bandwidth. yeah, i suppose you'll say something about value added services and such and you may have a point but i doubt that will keep the ship afloat for long.

dns for private domain
by snort bsd 21 May '05

21 May '05

Hi All: Does a DNS have specific reqirements? I imagine it would not need the root cache file since it would go nowhere except own domain. I set up a DNS (named it as "lab.com") server in the lab and it seems to be working fine; I can resolve hostnames on my linux box and window box, but on Sun Solaris machine I got "non-exist domain" error. Anything specific for the Solaris' resolver or I need to do some extra on my DNS configuration? TIA Dave Find local movie times and trailers on Yahoo! Movies. http://au.movies.yahoo.com

Cox Broadband Blacks Out?
by Fergie (Paul Ferguson) 20 May '05

20 May '05

Via internetnews.com: http://www.internetnews.com/xSP/article.php/3506886 "More than 2 million Cox Communications broadband customers lost their connections Friday after the cable operator's Internet backbone went down, a spokesman for the Atlanta company confirmed. "We're still investigating the root cause of the problem," Bobby Amirshahi, a Cox spokesman, told internetnews.com. Amirshahi said the outage affected all of Cox's broadband customers -- both consumers and businesses. In some markets, service was restored in 30 minutes, he said. However, one Cox customer in Orange County, Calif., reported that his firm's service had been dark for two hours. Service has now been restored to all customers, Amirshahi said. The company will gather information on what caused the problem over the next few hours." - ferg -- "Fergie", a.k.a.

PSTN equivalent to the nanog list? PSTN status pages?

I was getting consistent fast busy between 650 and 801 area codes yesterday afternoon between 1630-1830h PDT. I don't think it was my switch, cuz time before getting fast busy varied from "right away" to "many seconds >= 10", and once I heard the beginning of a carrier recorded error msg "message T.." and then it was cut off and got fast busy again. Anyway, I'm just curious if there's any place on the Internet to go looking to see what might be going on with the PSTN network....least common denominator being a mailing list such as nanog....but I s'pose the PSTN folk aren't so informal ;-) <musing> I suppose tho, that the question is moot given that with the user interface to the PSTN is simply "keep trying until it works" -- unless one has connections to multiple LECs and/or long-distance carriers that one can switch between. </musing> thanks, JeffH
