ASN database files from LACNIC or AFRINIC?
Hello, I am currently looking for ASN databases from LACNIC and AFRINIC the same way they are provided at ftp://ftp.arin.net/pub/rr/arin.db ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/dbase/ripe.db.gz ftp://ftp.apnic.net/apnic/whois-data/APNIC/apnic.RPSL.db.gz I've traversed their respective ftp.[lacnic|afrinic].net servers to no avail. I would appreciate any hints where to download this data if it exists. NB: we do know that looking up from a dowloaded file might not be up-to-date anymore the older the file gets. However, the application usually does more lookups than the online queries permit us to do. We will keep this updated asynchronously. Thanks, andreas -- Andreas Ott[EMAIL PROTECTED]

ASN lines look like this: lacnic|MX|asn|278|1|19890331|allocated ... I found that one, but this is less helpful for what I need. I'd like to get a db record that has the AS number and the AS name. You know, for pretty printing things to screen in reports I was asked to name things with a name and not a number. If they instead had lacnic|MX|asn|278|1|19890331|EXAMPLE-CORPORATION that would be great and I could adjust the parser. Well, we might have to settle for telling in which country the AS is allocated. -andreas -- Andreas Ott[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: New N.Y. Law Targets Hidden Net LD Tolls
Hi, On Thu, Aug 18, 2005 at 03:54:38AM -0400, Richard A Steenbergen wrote: To quote the original pasted article: Consumers, however, must act on the warning that Internet providers must soon post by contacting their phone companies to find out whether a number is truly local. It used to be standard practice until last year that SBC (dial-up and DSL provider here in this area, as well as the 'Bell' phone company) let you look up dial-in numbers for 'your' local area code and exchange. However, the results only came back without any numbers in your own area code, just the ones from other area codes where they had dial-in numbers. If you did not know how to work the system, you would be using one of the numbers that are truly a toll call for you. And you'd pay to SBC-the_phone_company to get to SBC-the_ISP because the ISP withheld the local numbers from you. The way how to work the system was to enter another valid area code and exchange, then look for dial-in numbers in your area code and finally determine (e.g. by checking in the listing in the local phone book front pages or by inquiring from the 'dial zero' operator) which of the numbers are inside your toll free calling area. Since then (I can't tell exactly when, because I only used this lookup feature when I was about to travel out of town) SBC has changed this practice and you can get all numbers listed from their search page at http://sbcyahoo.prodigy.net/openPhone/ . Note the disclaimer explanations right on that page Long Distance Charges and Finding the Best Exchange for You. -andreas -- Andreas Ott[EMAIL PROTECTED]
IBM to offer service to bounce unwanted e-mail back to the computers that sent them
http://money.cnn.com/2005/03/22/technology/ibm_spam/ And I thought they knew better by now that a hijacked windows pc won't accept mail. I still consider it silly to absorb the sender's bandwidth like this (and all transits' bandwidth until someone is smart enough to put a filter up). -andreas -- Andreas Ott[EMAIL PROTECTED]
