Re: Underscores in host names
You know what the constraints are -- no zone local semantics (e.g., case folding rules, courtesy H.A.) for a glyph repetoire that in some ranges is also a character set, no intermediate tables, no flag day(s) for apps, and so on. It's sad that one of the constraints isn't for this to be explained in plain English. Sometimes I think people take jargon too far. Yes, we do need some special vocabulary to talk about detailed technical things, but every time we invent new vocabulary, we compartmentalize knowledge into stovepipes and we prevent cross-fertilization with other fields of knowledge. P.S. 17th century French lacked a w character, 8 is a u atop an o. And people who write Russian in mobile phone SMS will often write things like 4to ti xo4esh videt? Where the 4 represents ch and the two occurences of i represent two separate cyrillic letters. Russia is an interesting country with respect to domain names. Sometimes you will see a domain name written in cyrillic characters that are intended to be transliterated one-by-one into latin characters. This is signified by using cyrillic for the .ru ending. And sometimes you see a cyrillic domain name with a russian word which is intended to be translated into the english word to form the domain name. --Michael Dillon

Re: Underscores in host names
And people who write Russian in mobile phone SMS will often write things like 4to ti xo4esh videt? It would be written chto ti hochesh videti or chto ti xochesh videti. Russian transliterations are rather easy to follow since they are phonetic. We are not counting 3l33t speakers. Russia is an interesting country with respect to domain names. Sometimes you will see a domain name written in cyrillic characters that are intended to be transliterated one-by-one into latin characters. This is signified by using cyrillic for the .ru ending. And sometimes you see a cyrillic domain name with a russian word which is intended to be translated into the english word to form the domain name. When Russian is written using English letters, it is phonetic. The native speakers understand it. The non-native speakers look at it the same way as they view domain names that do not contain recognizable words. Alex
PSTN equivalent to the nanog list? PSTN status pages?
I was getting consistent fast busy between 650 and 801 area codes yesterday afternoon between 1630-1830h PDT. I don't think it was my switch, cuz time before getting fast busy varied from right away to many seconds = 10, and once I heard the beginning of a carrier recorded error msg message T.. and then it was cut off and got fast busy again. Anyway, I'm just curious if there's any place on the Internet to go looking to see what might be going on with the PSTN networkleast common denominator being a mailing list such as nanogbut I s'pose the PSTN folk aren't so informal ;-) musing I suppose tho, that the question is moot given that with the user interface to the PSTN is simply keep trying until it works -- unless one has connections to multiple LECs and/or long-distance carriers that one can switch between. /musing thanks, JeffH

The non-native speakers look at it the same way as they view domain names that do not contain recognizable words. Even in your own example you used x in place of h - this is not phonetic but literal representation of russian letter x. So while it is for the most part phonetic, it really depends on who is writing and I've yet to see two people use exactly the same transliteration of russian in latin letters; as an example I would write above as chto ty hochesh videt'. Oh, and did I mention that written cyrillic russian difers from spoken language and as it regularly has ambigous soft/hard sounds transliterated only as hard. When transliterating to latin many do it from spoken language sounds, so don't be surprised to see shto ty hochesh videt' (which might turn into wto ty hochew videt for those few who represent sh as w because letters are visually similar eventhough sounds are not) and then others do it the other way around making everything hard and even getting rid of yat' derived letters - chto ti hochesh videt. -- William Leibzon Elan Networks [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: ISP Issues in Texas?
We're seeing different internet providers' circuits down/unreachable all over Texas, is anyone aware of anything major going on out there? Thanks. My two (2) T1 MCI circuits in Dallas are VERY slow and non-responsive since early this morning. They are trying to re-route them they say... :) -Dennis
RE: VerizonWireless.com Mail Blacklists
They're different companies. I'm pretty sure they have different server farms and corporate policies. Verizon owns 100% of Verizon.net and only 55% of Verizon Wireless.

Cox Broadband Blacks Out?
Via internetnews.com: http://www.internetnews.com/xSP/article.php/3506886 More than 2 million Cox Communications broadband customers lost their connections Friday after the cable operator's Internet backbone went down, a spokesman for the Atlanta company confirmed. We're still investigating the root cause of the problem, Bobby Amirshahi, a Cox spokesman, told internetnews.com. Amirshahi said the outage affected all of Cox's broadband customers -- both consumers and businesses. In some markets, service was restored in 30 minutes, he said. However, one Cox customer in Orange County, Calif., reported that his firm's service had been dark for two hours. Service has now been restored to all customers, Amirshahi said. The company will gather information on what caused the problem over the next few hours. - ferg -- Fergie, a.k.a.

dns for private domain
Hi All: Does a DNS have specific reqirements? I imagine it would not need the root cache file since it would go nowhere except own domain. I set up a DNS (named it as lab.com) server in the lab and it seems to be working fine; I can resolve hostnames on my linux box and window box, but on Sun Solaris machine I got non-exist domain error. Anything specific for the Solaris' resolver or I need to do some extra on my DNS configuration? TIA Dave Find local movie times and trailers on Yahoo! Movies. http://au.movies.yahoo.com
