whois search question
by larrys＠lexis-nexis.com 30 Dec '98

30 Dec '98

Hi All -- I was trying to chase down a site for Helm, Inc. (publishers of OEM automotive shop manuals). A whois (from the nic website but that shouldn't matter) of 'helm' returned a bunch of answers, but not them. A similar search of 'helm,' found them. Is a comma a searchable character? Should it be? thanx, -ls-

pima.az.us does not appear to be delegated anymore. Other delegations (at least the short list I tested) do appear to be working. -- Stan | PGP Key ID: 55CB6421 | Opinions expressed are only mine.

Is the US domain screwed up, or is it Internic, or whut?
by Ehud Gavron 29 Dec '98

29 Dec '98

jp.co.pima.az.us is a perfectly good domain with servers kappa.jp.co.pima.az.us ns.pima.gov arizona.edu The root servers claim the following can give me good answers: Server: A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET Address: 198.41.0.4 Authoritative answers can be found from: US nameserver = VENERA.ISI.EDU US nameserver = EXCALIBUR.USC.EDU US nameserver = NS.ISI.EDU US nameserver = RS0.INTERNIC.NET US nameserver = NS.UU.NET US nameserver = ADMII.ARL.MIL However, of those, only the first three respond correctly to a lookup. RS0.INTERNIC.NET and NS.UU.NET give me an obsolete server (tophat). ADMII.ARL.MIL gives me no records found. Is it that I'm just too stupid to use nslookup/dig on a Tuesday, or is there a configuration issue here somewhere? Ehud

Most larger ISPs are able to get the IXC/ILECs to place there hardware in the customers space, but with many smaller ISPs this is not the case. The is more then case with ILECs who like to place SONET hardware in a common building location and not in the customers space. Many times when the ILEC does put a MUX in the customers space it is just a stub off of a MUX somewhere in the building. -- Check out the new CLEC mailing list at http://www.robotics.net/clec ><> Nathan Stratton Telecom & ISP Consulting www.robotics.net nathan(a)robotics.net > -Deepak. > AiNET

VoIP at last (Atlanta) NANOG?
by Pete Kruckenberg 28 Dec '98

28 Dec '98

Hate it when this happens... I'm having a conversation with someone about VoIP, and I am remembering something about the last NANOG where someone was talking about building VoIP gateways where they used DSPs to work directly with the digitally-encoded voice (PCM?) signal rather than the "normal" way. If anyone remembers this presentation (I may have been in an alternate reality at the time), could you remind me who gave it? Thanks. Pete.
