Re: [WISPA] Wireless Interference in the house

[Contact]

Martha, I've seen devices that have worked for years begin to cause 
problems. We've seen 3 cordless phones that began to spew RF into the 
environment and caused interference problems.  All have been 2.4GHz 
phones. One caused issues at 900MHz, the other 2 caused 2.4GHz 
interference. One of the phones was 100 yards from the antenna in a 
neighbors house. We purchased new phones and the problems went away.

Telephones, baby monitors, for sure.
In other environments, I have seen microwaves and copiers mess with 
wired connections, why not wireless?

What about the new Verizon Wireless home phone service that you get a 
box for and run off the mobile 4G network?


Thanks

Re: [WISPA] Barracuda outbounds SPAM filter any good?

[Portative Contact]

Kurt, I use a Mikrotik router to check outbound mail - here are the 
rules I used.

add action=log chain=forward comment="BLOCK SPAMMERS OR INFECTED USERS" 
disabled=no dst-port=25 log-prefix=DROPSPAM \
protocol=tcp src-address-list=spammer
add action=add-src-to-address-list address-list=spammer 
address-list-timeout=1w chain=forward comment=\
"Detect and add SMTP to spammer list" connection-limit=90,32 
disabled=no dst-port=25 limit=50,3 protocol=tcp

It took me a few weeks to tune so my mail server didn't keep getting 
identified as a spammer. I didn't want it ignored as a potential for 
spam for the same issue you are having. I also use pop before smtp and  
got blacklisted last year as an infected customer sent out about 100K 
e-mails over a weekend. I logged first as above and then changed the 
action of the first rule to drop once I got it tuned.

Your mileage may vary.

I usually look when I'm going to be in the office for a while and cut them
off when I see them using it. Phone rings within a couple of minutes.

Re: [WISPA] US Wireless Online Sells 50.1 Percent

[Contact at .net]

In Louisville I hear them affectionately called US Clueless.  The name 
really caught on a few years ago as they announced and subsequently 
deployed a new technology 900 MHz system and spent tremendous dollars 
and made lots of noise both publicity and in rf  spectrum,  I think I 
remember hearing around 500K for the phase 1 roll out.


After a couple of front page spin articles in the Courier Journal, came 
the third, a picture of an engineer on the roof at their transmitter and 
a caption below saying "it isn't working as well as we had hoped."  You 
can't buy better coverage.


With that said, I know some of the folks leftover from the days of 
Darwin that ended up at US Wireless and wish them well.


A press release from 2003 discussed 500 enterprise customers.  Surely 
those numbers changed since their 2005 buying spree, 8 or 9 companies 
that included Iskywire, VOIPWorks, United Broadband Networks, and 
Yyireless1 Net that I can remember. As Mr Leary said another post a 
conglomeration.


In watching this unfold for the last 10 or more years, the lesson I've 
learned is that all the spin, money, and high level partnerships and 
contacts you have, or even the products you buy, won't make a lick of 
difference if you never execute a business plan and actually make money.
