I really hate to ask, but does anyone know how to find Sean Doran of Sprint infamy? I really need to follow up on some comments he made one day about ATM. If you do, please just e-mail me. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Charles F.

IMO, this is the best way to hit where it hurts and punish the real offender instead of arm-twisting or hacking into ISP's in the chain. >> And in Interactive Week today, I see Cyber Promotions just signed a >> three year deal with UUNet/Worldcom. Someone was quoted as saying they >> will have the capacity to "send 111 average-sized email messages per >> second". <sarcasm> I'm eager to see which of the anti-spam preachers will be the first to stop peering with and/or taking transit from UUnet (WCOM) in order to stay "clean". </sarcasm> Sanjay.

Earlier today, I was bitching about Inter@ctive Week not following up on the story and simply believing what Cyber Promo put on their web page. Darrell

He can sign all of the deals that he wants. If he doesn't stop his illegal tactics of theft of services, he will be out of business -- we have contacted the local police department after the 3rd or 4th time he used our mail relay -- they believe that charges of theft of service will stick. We are holding off civil suits against cyberpromotions and their clients until criminal charges have been brought. Once he has been charged with criminal theft of service, we will sue both cyber promotions and their clients for damages. He speaks of first amendment rights -- he should pay more attention to laws regarding simple thievery. They will be his downfall. > From owner-nanog(a)merit.edu Wed Apr 23 01:04:41 1997 > Date: Wed, 23 Apr 1997 00:54:33 -0400 (EDT) > From: Charles Sprickman <spork(a)inch.com> > To: MarkG <ceo(a)netconcept.com> > Cc: Daniel Senie <dts(a)openroute.com>, nanog(a)merit.edu > Subject: Re: Response from Cyber Promotions (fwd) > Mime-Version: 1.0 > > And in Interactive Week today, I see Cyber Promotions just signed a > three year deal with UUNet/Worldcom.

Re: "Which Internet?"

Mr Seastrom, How many times have you seen people on the NANOG list publicly condemn notes such as yours that are taken to the NANOG list before being taken through proper network operations channels? I really get tired of listening to these sorts of notes when they involve other providers so I would appreciate if you have a response to this message, that you take it up with me (or our NOC) offline instead of involving the whole NANOG community. Regarding the incident you complain about, first of all, you called the wrong number. Advantis has many other networks to support besides our Internet service. You talked to someone in first line support who was trying to help you get to the NOC that manages our Internet service. I don't know all the specifics of your conversation with this person, but from the tone of your note, I suspect you may have had something to do with the argument since you didn't understand that we do in fact have several inter networks to support. In the future, try NOC(a)IBM.NET and you will get to the bottom of the problem. Secondly, we brought up peering *yesterday* with your upstream provider and a typo was made in the configuration which resulted in your getting the extra routes. This situation was promptly fixed once it really got to the NOC. Why you seem to have the need to publicly criticize our network with false statements such as 'this condition has persisted for several months' is beyond me. In the future, you may want to try being a bit more patient. Sincerely, Dimitri Krinos Network Architecture IBM Global Services At 08:38 PM 4/21/97 -0400, Robert E.
