T-shirt excitement
by Susan R. Harris 24 Sep '98

24 Sep '98

The response to our NANOG T-shirt design contest, which Craig announced this morning, has been absolutely overwhelming. Please keep those cards and letters coming, but be sure to send 'em to nanog-support(a)merit.edu, rather than to the whole nanog list. Sincerely, The Official NANOG 14 T-shirt Design Committee http://www.nanog.org/mtg-9811/tshirt.html

IP accounting

For everything that has been said about charging for bandwidth, I don't see why a simple, low priced per-gigabyte model doesn't work. If you want to go to the ironic side, try using free software to do it all... http://www2.empnet.com/ipacct/ --- "Microsoft is to quality software what McDonalds is to gourmet cooking"

IXC Fibre cut IL,OH
by Bradley Reynolds 24 Sep '98

24 Sep '98

IXC communications currently has more than a hundred ds3s cut. The outage started at 0830 CDT on 9/19/98. All ds3s that I have isolated traverse their fibre route between cleveland and downtown chicago. The outage seems to affect the chicago area primarily. IXC was unable to provide ETR. On a side-note, if you are in the ameritech service area, ixc's 800 number translation is not working. You get to hear a non-standard 'all circuits are busy'. If you need to reach them, call their austin number 5124273700 BR

The Bell 212 was 1200 bps, 600 baud, 2 bits per baud, full duplex. So was the Vadic 3400, which preceded the 212.

WEATHER: Puerto Rico/Hurricane Georges
by Sean Donelan 23 Sep '98

23 Sep '98

37 dead. I'll concentrate on Puerto Rico because DRA has some customers on that island. I'm not sure of the Internet or telecommunication situation on other islands. Official reports are light to moderate damage. Electrical power has been restored to some parts of Puerto Rico, but 1 million people are still without power. Primary power generation facilities were not damaged, but the transmission network was damaged throughout the island. Telephone service was disrupted in several areas. Mayaguez and other areas are affected. Internet circuits through those central offices have also been affected. The storm track is currently Cuba on Sep 24, and Florida late on Sep 24 or early Sep 25. -- Sean Donelan, Data Research Associates, Inc, St. Louis, MO Affiliation given for identification not representation
