RE: Calling all NANOG'ers - idea for national hardware price quote registry
Gang, I just went through this matter in another venue (SAGe). My company's policy, and I know there are others equally stringent, is that I may divulge which products from which vendors I have looked at, and I may tell which one I picked. However, I may not divulge my processes for decision making, Ts & Cs, nor prices. It really makes for rather vacuous reading. Hilton

RE: what will all you who work for private isp's be doing in a few years?
Folks, I'm going to butt in here. Correct me if I'm wrong. Several years ago, here in California, the word was spread that a cable company has the right to the data and to the information which can be derived from it: rational was that cable is PRIVATE whereas things like POTS lines, DSL, T1, etc. were PUBLIC CARRIER. I, personally, was told, during a job interview in the San Jose area, for a position as a Forth programmer, that the desired outcome of the project was for the cable company to derive access information and purchasing information from the streams of electrons coursing through their cable medium. Maybe I have been mislead, maybe things have changed, but, just to be on the safe side - my household is sticking to analog cable, and several DSL lines, much to Comcast's disgust. Dave Hilton

After all.. it is bad design typically to use a star topology for physical networks.. because of one huge single point of failure.. P2P is the ultimate mesh protocol to run on the global mesh network. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- iD8DBQFBNMx1xBpDNCKu9WMRAmf6AJsEH1HL7++I5i8nvR4XaP1IlExqQwCgj8wJ C188jcskO0knEdC/YD/KZUk= =lgiU -END PGP SIGNATURE-
RE: UPS and generator interaction?
I had trouble like this years ago. Seems that some UPSes only recognize sine-wave AC power, whereas some UPSes provice something more like sawtooth or square-wave AC power. Inserting a Variac (very inefficient) between the generator and the sensitive UPSes fixed the problem.

What Patrick said. But, on a minor note that probably won't affect your Symmetra but I'm posting in case anyone else here can shed light on we had a power event this AM. The transfer switch did it's magic and all was good... Except for two new APC1400's- they failed once the batteries drained. I triple-checked that they were on the right panel, played with sensitivity, even tried daisy-chaining one off a good working 2200. Nothing I did would convince the two 1400s they had power. Once the house power was restored they came back to life and look normal. I later learned that two of our colo customers with APC1400s had the same problem :( Other models (even a couple non-essential lower-end, dumb APC 450s and 650s) didn't blink at the generator power.
