I totally agree with you Richard. But, in this case all im getting is the run-around from GBLX when calling them about it. I managed to open up a trouble ticket with them but their Techs weren't telling me anything other than they will look into it and call me back. Even though I am a customer,

Micorsoft's Sender ID Authentication......?

2005-06-07 Thread Fergie (Paul Ferguson)
Wasn't there a lot of turmoil within the IETF last year on sender authentication because Microsoft was trying to push it's own sender ID authetication mechasnisms as a draft standard? Or maybe I'm confused... Microsoft Adds Sender ID Anti-Spoofing Protocol To Exchange 2003 SP2

Even though it is fed with N+1 UPS power, Qwest put N+1 rectifiers batteries for their fiber cabinet they installed for me a few years ago. At the time, batteries were required no matter what, and they say they will replace them every 5 years. A little-town independent telco however,

Agreed. I joined Nanog initially to be alerted of medium/large-scale outages (used to work for a telco), but then I was pleasantly surprised by the deeper technical edge of most participants on this fabulous list. Best of both worlds, IMO. Thanks and regards to all, pj -Original
