Hostway email from John Martis
by Jay Ashworth 24 Feb '12

24 Feb '12

If anyone at Hostway is listening -- though I don't really owe you this, since you couldn't even be bothered to call me back in October when I was shopping -- you might want to: a) fix the content restrictions on the half dozen or more people on the mailing list to which johnmartis@hostway redirects, and b) make sure you have no such filters at all on postmaster@, in accordance with the relevant RFCs. And no, there was no restrictable content in my reply. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.

common time-management mistake: rack & stack
by Jeff Wheeler 23 Feb '12

23 Feb '12

Randy's P-Touch thread brings up an issue I think is worth some discussion. I have noticed that a lot of very well-paid, sometimes well-qualified, networking folks spend some of their time on "rack & stack" tasks, which I feel is a very unwise use of time and talent. Imagine if the CFO of a bank spent a big chunk of his time filling up ATMs. Flying a sharp router jockey around to far-flung POPs to install gear is just as foolish. Not only does the router jockey cost a lot more to employ than a CCNA, but if your senior-level talent is wasting time in airports and IBXes, that is time they can't be doing things CCNAs can't. I was once advising a client on a transit purchasing decision, and a fairly-large, now-defunct tier-2 ISP was being considered. We needed a few questions about their IPv6 plans answered before we were comfortable. The CTO of that org was the only guy who was able to answer these questions. After waiting four days for him to return our message, he reached out to us from an airplane phone, telling us that he had been busy racking new routers in several east-coast cities (his office was not east-coast) and that's why he hadn't got back to us yet. As you might imagine, the client quickly realized that they didn't want to deal with a vendor whose CTO spent his time doing rack & stack instead of engineering his network or engaging with customers. If he had simply said he was on vacation, we would never have known how poorly the senior people at that ISP managed their time. With apologies to Randy, let the CCNAs fight with label makers. -- Jeff S Wheeler <jsw(a)inconcepts.biz> Sr Network Operator / Innovative Network Concepts

Customer Notification System.
by James Wininger 23 Feb '12

23 Feb '12

We are a smaller ISP in Indiana. We are growing quite rapidly (yeah for us). We have a need for a customer notification system. We have simply out grown the ability to send emails to our customers manually. We need to have a better way of notifying our customers of maintenance etc. We would need to send notifications out to say about 400 customers. Ideally the system would send an attached PDF. It would be great if this system were SQL based etc. Does anyone know of a system that is out there that does this? We have looked at a few applications (windows based) but integration with billing etc seems to be a caveat. I have thought of possibly using a mailing list type approach, but that gets us back to (almost) where we are today. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. -- Jim Wininger jwininger(a)ifncom.net
