 But yes, communities of a rational size and density could get an address

That assumes they can agree on how to get traffic to/from the world and
the local IX.  One of our local ISPs goes the cheap way and uses an
overloaded (and therefore cost effective) link to a cheap tier 2.  Another
pays a premium price to have a lightly loaded link for it's customers.

They will never agree on their business model, not should they have to.  By
forcing local ISPs to use the same routing prefix you force them to share
the same routing strategy to the outside world.  For semi-isolated
communities this is a big issue.

I know of several cases where the San Jose fire marshall turned off
natural gas as a precaution.  You may wish to discuss with your local
fire marshall under what conditions they will turn off the gas.

Some places require auto-shutoff valves for NG as an earthquake
precaution.

You are probably doing as much damage as good.

udp/1434 is not a reserved port. A lot of what you are blocking is legit

 Yes, at least three companies have databases of pretty much all /24s and

These DBs are a joke.  I have /19's that are SWIPed to the billing

Except for the IPs I set RFC1712 LOC records on.

 Spam would not exist if both MUA's and MTA's had adequate policy

Nice try, but not close enough.

Spam is a LEGAL problem.

There are many cases where spammers negotiated a service contract with
out anti-spamming clauses.  Then when the ISP figures out they have
a bulk spammer for a custmoer they can not shut down the spammer because
the spammer gets a court order to enforce the service agreement.

Same goes on the other side.  Many BLs have been sued, AND LOST, for
putting spammers on their BLs.

Put those two together and no technical solution will fix the problem.

If legislatures say Pi is equal to 3 then there is not much we

How about moving this discussion to a more appropriate list?  Nanog
is not the place to discuss spam and we are re-inventing the wheel,
badly, on nanog.

Half the spam I get is from throw away AOL, netzero, earthlink, etc.
accounts.  Spend $10 for a new ISP account, sent 10,000 emails with
MY return address which is valid and on whitelists.  Do it on a long
weekend and get 30k out before you get stopped.

If the spammers can not run their own name servers then they will just
use someone elses.  Last I checked there where over 6,000 ISPs in the
country.  Cancel them one place and they just go to another.

How about moving this to an approriate forum where people really know

 Right, but to run a real mail server you need a static address.  Which
 can be registered as a valid mail server.  Dynamic IP's cannot.

Read what I wrote again.  Do not say it is not possible, I see it
every day.

These people, and others will be happy to help you set it up:
http://www.no-ip.com

 Do you own a domain name? Run your own web, mail, ftp, or any server
connected your cable, dsl, or dialup connection using your personal
domain name.

Do some googling before posting nonsense...

 Doesn't mention anything about Nanog is for moving packets.  An
 anti-spam/security discussion seems perfectly acceptable to me.

From the proposed nanog FAQ:


Off-Topic Questions
1. Spam
2. Local DNS
[...]

So take this topic to somewhere it belongs.

RE: How do I log on while in flight?

2002-06-27 Thread Gary E. Miller


Yo  Scott!

Several services will do what you want.  They are ALL expensive.

One of them is Orbcomm:
http://www.orbcomm.com

They have several FAA TSOed (a.k.a. certified) redios for aircraft
usage.  With Orbcomm you can send and receive email, weather fax, etc.

Echo Flight is one reseller of Orbcomm service to small airplanes:
http://www.echoflight.com

There service is $10/month plus $1/email

The FAA is currently funding several competing data-link projects.  The
idea is to force vendors to give away basic services to all airplanes
and be allowed to charge for premium services like email. Details at:
http://www.avweb.com/oshkosh/osh99/day5/fis/index.html

Icarus has their SatTalk II phone.  It allows cell phone like
connections while inflight.  See them at:
http://www.icarusinstruments.com/

But is this really on topic for nanog?  I was not going to post until
I started seeing some bad answers...

 I was wondering if any of y'all could give me pointers to services I could
 use to log into a network during flight on a private airplane. For example
 a person is in flight cross-country and needs to do a videoconference,
 send email from his network to interested parties, or any of the normal
 things we do from the ground.  Is this possible or would it interfere with
 the plane's other systems?

 Also, that the cellular network could crash if cell phones are used at

Boeing has repeatedly stated that it is not stupid enough to make
airplanes that will fail because someone in the back has an electronic
device on.  Ossama would love that if it were so.  It is the FCC, or the
individual airline that bans electronic devices, not the FAA.

The FCC bans most (not all!) cell phone in flight because cell phones
are line of sight.  So on in-flight cell phone ties up a LOT of cell
towers on the ground.  Air ambulances routinely ignore this rule and
I am sure a lot of people are alive today because they do.

One of the airborne certified vendors of airborne cellular is AirCell:
http://www.aircell.com

Garmin sells the NavTalk Pilot which is a combination GPS, ground cell
phone and airborne cell phone:
http://www.garmin.com/products/navTalkPilot/

GTE Airfone is a ground based phone TSOed (a.k.a. certified)
for in flight use in small airplanes.  They are at:
http://www.airfone.com

Being ground based it does not have the latency problems of Sat Phones.
The bad part is in only works when you are in the air.

The airline bans electronic devices just to shut up the little old
ladies.  My favorite is please turn off you PDA for takeoff.  Huh?
All the On/Off sitch on the PDA does is turn off the screen...
