All comparable solutions were $2000-3000 for the same number of sensors. I was half expecting to loose $445 to a scam company in Slovakia. I was very pleasantly surprised and I wanted to share my positive experience. I was excited because of the ease of setup and the dirt cheap price. If you don't need them. Ignore the post. If you do, or if someone searching the archives does, they will find my post useful. It is a lot more on topic than a lot of the nanog noise. >So I figure I'm going to call Tellurian tomorrow, and confirm you exist, >hoping you'll forgive me for my lack of faith.

I am real. Look at our web site and look at the archives. I bought a cheap and elegant solution to a problem we all have and I wanted to share that positive experience with the list to benefit others. I was hesitant to buy it because it looked too good to be true and they are located in Slovakia (no offense to others from SK), but it works and I'm very impressed. Again, I have absolutely NO connection to them other than as a satisfied customer. -Robert Tellurian Networks - The Ultimate Internet Connection http://www.tellurian.com | 888-TELLURIAN | 973-300-9211 "Good will, like a good name, is got by many actions, and lost by one." - Francis Jeffrey

Anybody from AT&T?
by Jay Greenberg 23 Sep '03

23 Sep '03

Anyone from AT&T on the list? I just bought a Cisco 7507 with a full AT&T config on it from March 2003. Maybe someone should be changing passwords and snmp com strong, etc? It has an AT&T asset number on it, if that helps you identify how that got overlooked. Contact me if necessary. -- Jay Greenberg, CCIE #11021 -------------------------- www.free-labs.com -Free Cisco Rack Rental- --------------------------

Re: VeriSign SMTP reject server updated

But Versign's industrial espionage department would have >your email in their hands and could do whatever they wish with it. >How profitable might that be? Actually... If they were to accidentally remove someone's .COM domain and do that, that would be a criminal violation of ECPA, says my not-an-attorney analysis. Even if they did it by accident. Even if they didn't keep a copy. Even if their mail server didn't accept it and returned a 550 on the RCPT, if the sending mail agent did something braindead like just pump out a whole message plus embedded SMTP headers like... oh, I dunno... a bunch of Spamware does. It seems... wrong... to consider that we could file criminal charges against Verisign for illegally intercepting spam between the spammer and our systems, but it appears to be a legally consistent postulate. As Verisign is doing SiteFinder for commercial gain, it might even qualify for the higher penalties (1 yr first offense 2 yr each subsequent offense). I wonder if 'offense' would map to 'domain' or 'individual email message' or what. Conceivably could be very very bad news. -george william herbert gherbert(a)retro.com
