If possible, order your T-1 from someone that actually has their own cabinets within L3's suite. I have about five DS-3s, an OC-3 and a couple of POTS lines and have never had any major problems with the installs. We've occasionally gotten the bad DLR from a vendor and L3 usually let us know within a couple of days of when we sent them the DLR that there was a problem. -Sean Network Engineering MegaPath Networks Inc.

[OT] Level3, 111 8th
by Charles Sprickman 20 Dec '03

20 Dec '03

Hello, Given that our L3 rep is useless for this information, perhaps another customer of L3 @ 1118th (3rd floor) can help me out. We are ordering our first cross-connect to the meet-me room since I've arrived, and I'm wondering how to specify the location to the vendors. We're dropping a POTS line and a few T1s. Most of the forms I've seen want a suite number, etc. If anyone can supply that info, I'd be most grateful. Bonus points for any extra tips about making things go smoothly in this datacenter. I've heard nasty stories about telcos leaving the demarc in the basement or somewhere else outside the meet-me room... Thanks, Charles -- Charles Sprickman spork(a)inch.com

Then you probably want a Netopia PN660. v.35 serial port, NAT, RJ45 Ethernet, etc. They can't be upgraded with a Netopia OS later than 2 years ago due to flash and RAM limitations so they have limited VPN capability, but they work great for what they are. You can get them for < $25 on eBay. This one is currently $9.99. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3066361701&category=3706 DO NOT buy a PN630/640 or any other model except the PN660 since that is the only one which will work for your specs. I would have given you one, but I threw them away a few months ago. -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

Technically speaking, the port is definitely not a HSSI port. HSSI is ~ 52mbps and used for DS-3 and E3. You're probably looking for a v.35 interface, EIA-422/485, or similar interface to match your CSU.

Low end router alternative?
by Gerald 19 Dec '03

19 Dec '03

I'm experimenting at home with hardware. I'm playing with low end T1 equipment at the moment. What is a low-cost router solution to hook to a CSU/DSU? (where I don't have to pay a ridiculous $800+ IOS relicensing fee preferably.) With Cisco 2500's going on Ebay for $10-$30, I'd like to find something in the <$50 price range that will do basic routing and has an RJ45 connector plus some serial way for me to hook the CSU/DSU in to it. Bonus abilities would be built in DHCP, NAT, 1-1 NAT mapping, port mapping, and basic firewalling. Maybe I'm looking at this too hard. Is there a cheap Smart-Jack to Ethernet conversion system out there I'm missing for small businesses? I know the hardware has been around for a while and the software I'm looking for is not complicated. Maybe someone knows of a different OS that'll go on the cheap cisco routers like: http://www.mcvax.org/~koen/uClinux-cisco2500/images/ ...only with a heartbeat. (That's not going to stop me from downloading it and trying it though.) Thanks for any suggestions on or off list. Gerald

That's the question the UPS driver once asked when delivering a 7507; the box did contain a router though and no rocks. > What about Cisco SPAR for TAC support? For some, it has come to a point where storing spares on-site is cheaper. I just bought a VIP2-40 for 50 bucks for example. Seen some GSRs for as low as $5k. This is hurting Cisco and I heard some talking about suppressing software-only support but so far so good. Michel.

Increased activity on UDP/1434?
by Bulger, Tim 19 Dec '03

19 Dec '03

Is anyone seeing increased activity on UDP/1434? We are seeing boxes which have been patched for SQL slammer spewing lots of traffic to randomized destination addresses for about 2 hours. Intense googling has revealed nothing new since SQL slammer. Any information would be appreciated. :) Thanks, Tim
