Does anyone have definitive status on 60 Hudson and 111 8th Ave, or 1 State Street (I don't know NY geography that well, State Street may be nowhere near the WTC). -----Original Message----- From: Mike Forrester [mailto:mikef@pocketlint.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2001 1:38 AM To: nanog(a)merit.edu Subject: RE: Circuits down, Free Verizon payphones > Verizon, the local New York City telephone company, has re-programmed > all Verizon owned payphones in lower Manhatten to provide free local > telephone calls. Now that's a real service provider. I'm looking for a new cell provider and they just might get my business cause of that. Mike

Number to call to volunteer
by Scotty Allen 12 Sep '01

12 Sep '01

According to www.nysemo.state.ny.us which is the NY state emergency management center, the number to volunteer your time for the cause is 800-801-8092. They'll put you in a database with your name and phone number and expertise, which is available to the command posts. They particularlly want firemen and medical people, but they seem receptive to everything. I have called and declared my time available for as long as needed, wherever it is needed. I was planning a travel abroad, and thus have no obligations locally, and sufficient funds to sustain my self. Thus, I also volunteer myself to the nanog community, being skilled in systems (NT & linux & x86) and LAN/WAN. About all I need is a place to sleep, wherever you need me. (I'm in Boulder, CO, currently) Being a recent resident of NYC, my heart goes out to everyone there. I long to do something constructive, to help heal our community and society.

However, nothing will protect against that. A) The cabin crew has to come into the cabin from time to time; for example to examine the wings for ice, & access hatches to landing gear. B) You better get crew members with big bladders. -- A host is a host from coast to coast.................wb8foz(a)nrk.com & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433

Cisco PIX 515-->520?
by Todd Suiter 12 Sep '01

12 Sep '01

I'm hearing rumors of problems with the 515 series PIX: '...that in some cases Cisco has opted to replace customers' 515 Pixes with 520's at no charge because the 515 in some cases accepts packets with spoofed source addresses that it should be able to reject.' has anyone heard of this? Far as I know the sw is the same, but hw is different.

That's great unless the pilot needs to check something in the plane. (I was sitting in first class once when they popped the carpet to check and make sure the landing gear was all the way down. Very unsettling.) -----Original Message----- From: John Hall [mailto:j.hall@f5.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2001 4:07 PM To: Vadim Antonov Cc: nanog(a)merit.edu Subject: Re: Analysis from a JHU CS Prof Bullet proof bulkhead separating the pilot's compartment from the cabin that is locked/unlocked externally by the ground crew.
