Why not try CGI-IRC http://cgiirc.sourceforge.net/
CGI:IRC is a Perl/CGI program that lets you access IRC from a web
browser, it is designed to be flexible and has many uses such as an IRC
gateway for an IRC network, a chat-room for a website or to access IRC
when stuck behind a restrictive firewall.

May be easier to just have a GPG key field for members' keys.  You

Some fairly simple programming then should be able to count and

[ilugd] Qmail sender based smarthost

Hi all, 
Qmail can send mails to smart hosts on the basis of domain of the
recipient (using smtproutes). Is it possible to make it send mails to
smarthost based on the sender ? 
i.e if [EMAIL PROTECTED] sends the mail, qmail sends it to smarthost mail.x.com and 
if [EMAIL PROTECTED] sends a mail, qmail sends it to smarthost mail.y.com

Any pointers ?? Is this even possible ?

Subject: The Day Internet Governance Mattered
Declan,

Of possible interest to Politech -- my regular Toronto Star Law Bytes
column examines the controversy over VeriSign's Site Finder service.  The
column argues that there has been a general lack of enthusiasm for Internet
governance issues but when it finally mattered - the moment VeriSign hit
the switch - the Internet community learned how powerless it has become as
ICANN and national governments did little to protect the public interest.
While VeriSign may eventually drop the service, the column concludes that
the Internet community will look back on the day that Internet governance
mattered and remember that they didn't.
MG

Column at
http://shorl.com/gavefifukudu [Toronto Star]
Verisign's tampering shows high cost of apathy

Internet governance is an issue that relatively few people care much about.
For the vast majority of Internet users, the technical and policy details
that underlie the Internet matter little so long as their e-mail goes to
the correct address and their domain name resolves correctly so that their
Web site is accessible.
While some people become engaged in hot button policy issues - domain name
dispute resolution, privacy, and online elections to name three - for the
most part policy decisions are largely left to the small cadre of technical
and policy wonks who engage in heated online discussions and meet several
times a year in a variety of exotic locales around the globe to continue
discussions face to face.
The general lack of enthusiasm for Internet governance has enabled those
stakeholders with a direct financial interest, primarily domain name
registries and registrars (the companies that sell and register domain
names) and the intellectual property community, to seize significant
control over the governance structure. Although the initial structure of
the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the
California-based non-profit company charged with managing the domain name
system, envisioned a meaningful role at the board level for individual
Internet users, those visions are now little more than a distant memory as
the voice of individual users has been steadily marginalized to the point
of near silence.
This gradual transformation has developed with the open acquiescence of
governments worldwide. Although many governments, including the Government
of Canada, profess to view the Internet as a critical resource, they have
been content to leave this resource alone, governed by self-regulation with
a bare minimum of intervention.
Last Monday, at 10:45 a.m., the danger of this laissez faire approach
became evident to millions of Internet users. At that moment, VeriSign, the
U.S. company that enjoys a monopoly over dot-com and dot-net domain name
registration (there are competing registrars who sell domains to the public
but they must all buy their domains from VeriSign), flicked a switch and
launched a new service called Site Finder.
Site Finder is designed to deal with a fairly common occurrence for many
Internet users - the entry of an incorrect domain name, either because the
domain is no longer active or because of a typo. While users are accustomed
to receiving an error message when this occurs, VeriSign's Site Finder
service now replaces the error page with a VeriSign page that displays
advertising and a search tool.
For VeriSign, this new innovation is potentially very lucrative. It
estimates that dot-com and dot-net domains are mistyped 20 million times
per day, resulting in an additional 20 million visitors to VeriSign's Web
site daily and millions of dollars in additional revenue from advertising
and click-through searches.
For the rest of the Internet, the new service is potentially very damaging.
Technical experts have repeatedly warned against tampering with the domain
name system in this fashion, suggesting that it could result in significant
instability for the network.
The service has also had an immediate negative impact on fight against
spam. Many ISPs use anti-spam tools that rely on the ability to discern
between domains that exist and those that do not. Since Site Finder ensures
that all domains resolve, even where they do not exist, that spam- fighting
mechanism has been rendered inoperable for the moment (VeriSign pledged to
develop a fix late last week).
Domain name owners also feel cheated by the new system. As one domain name
owner noted, many would not have opted for a dot-com domain years ago had
they known 

[ilugd] Feedback on spectranet

2003-09-24 Thread Sandip Bhattacharya
I have been thinking of switching my cable net provider (Hotwire) 
because of their pathetic service. I have learnt today that spectranet 
is available in my area(I.P. Extension, East Delhi) for quite a decent 
price(except for the cable modem that is).

Anybody who is using spectranet out here?
- Their downtime?
- Their billing?
- Their support? Tech clueness?
- Their speed?
- Their service features? e.g. Real IP or NAT? Port blocks? ICMP blocks
   etc.
I think Robins uses Spectranet.. but haven't seen him around here of late.

I had always wanted a newsserver for reading the ilugd mails for 
sometime. I belive some other people had expressed interest sometime 
back. I just had a talk with Suresh Ramasubramanian about this, and he 
suggested that it could be hosted on gmane.org if the group reaches a 
consensus on it.

game offers trivial email encryption (some what like the way my email 
address is written in my sig). Teh only reason many folks have 
objecttions to such an idea is email harvesting.

How about a vote on this matter folks? Take a look at gmane.org

already stores.
