[off-topic] old NSFNET regionals?
by Tung-Hui Hu 28 May '97

28 May '97

Sorry for the off-topic post. BTW, many thanks for the responses on a San Diego interexchange point. To summarize: CRL has a local access point that does FR and ATM up to DS3 speeds, and PCH is building one "in the next 8 weeks or so". Does anyone remember the NSF-sponsored regional networks? Can you fix this table--this is off the top of my head so I am missing a few networks. Name Region NOC was or is at Now SURAnet Southeast US Univ MD BBN SER NEARnet Northeast US MIT? BBN NER PREPnet Pennsylvania PSC merged w/ CICnet BARRnet Bay Area Stanford? Berkeley? BBN WR CERFnet? South Calif SDSC TCG CICnet Midwest ? merged w/ PREPnet Merit Michigan U Mich JvNCnet Middle states Princeton bought by verio NYSERnet New York ? THEnet Texas U Texas Thanks, -Tung-Hui Hu hhui(a)arcfour.com

The original NSF network in Texas was SESQUINET, operated by Rice U. THEnet was recognized as a regional a little later and SESQUINET and THEnet operated their infrastructure together for many years. SESQUINET is still operated by Rice. -- Stan | Academ Consulting Services |internet: sob(a)academ.com Olan | For more info on academ, see this |uucp: {mcsun|amdahl}!academ!sob Barber | URL- http://www.academ.com/academ |Opinions expressed are only mine.

by dhudes＠inet.graphnet.com 27 May '97

27 May '97

Due to an emergency upgrade of our firewall/mail server 192.206.112.2 mail for some Graphnet users including myself (I'm on another machine outside the firewall at the moment) is being queued on our backup server. Also offline is www.graphnet.com, not exactly a top 10 popularity website but ... Anyway, we will be back up tonight latest . So there may appear some queued for later delivery 4 hour notices don't give up on us yet. Dana Hudes Graphnet

spam stopped for now
by dhudes＠inet.graphnet.com 27 May '97

27 May '97

Over the past few days best-service.com has been using Graphnet Global Internet Services mail server, which runs Netscape Mail Server, to send spam to lots of folks. The queue delays have mounted and an interim fix has been implemented while we work on redoing our mail infrastructure to protect the weak and vulnerable Netscape Mail Server. Having identified the sending domain, our gateway router now has a filter to block all connections from their /20. Yup, these slime have a /20 from MCI. Our corporate powers-that-be are reviewing action to be taken. Best-service.com is in Manhattan, we are in Teaneck NJ so it is easy enough to sue/firebomb/prosecute/? if it can be arranged.

Pro/Con
by bmanning＠ISI.EDU 27 May '97

> 2:00 Large & Small Exchange Points: Advantages, Tradeoffs, Futures > Bill Manning, ISI There seems to be some "dynamic tension" here regarding the viability of exchange points as a tool in the internet engineers toolkit. Other talks are going to address specific issues, I guess that this one may focus on technological limitations and the dreaded peering/transit issues. If there are those brave souls whom are interesting in passing on their issues/ideas ahead of time, I'll have a more topical presentation. --bill

Re: Murkowski anti-spam bill could be a problem for ISPs

> From: Stephen Sprunk <spsprunk(a)paranet.com> > Actually, the USPS is almost 100% postage-funded; the only "subsidy" they > receive is that it's a felony to mess with US Mail (which courts will go > crazy over), whereas messing with FedEx/UPS packages is barely a misdemeanor. > > Stephen > Don't forget their license plates all say U.S.Gov, which I think makes then tax exempt. The USPS also provides passport services, something VERY specific to the Fed.Gov functioning. Now back to the issue of SPAM: Any law that requires the ISP on the RECEIVING side to take action simply plays into the hands of the spammers. There is already judicial precident (Earthlink vs. Cyberpromo) that the SENDER is responsible for theft of services and such. That precident, that someone is responsible for the email that they send, needs to be expanded upon, not erased by legislative fiat. Curt-
