  4. My experiance with being blacklisted on Why Are We on E-mail Blacklists? · · Score: 1

    Last saturday, I discovered that the Class C that our mailservers at work are was blacklisted by earthlink for "Dynamic IPs or Open Relays". This class c happened to contain our Dialpool (only 30 IPs, we are a very small ISP). On monday I emailed them explianing that none of our mail servers were open relays, and the whole class c wasn't dialup (helpfuly providing or dialup IP range). They emailed me back 2 hours later explaing that the class c was blacklisted as dialup, and that they had corrected the problem. Pretty painless, really.

    Nope. But they don't claim Dell's ATX computers infringe. They claim that has Dell's Optiplex PCs circa 1997 infringed. The suit was filed in 2000, and is just now going to trial.

    Are you claiming telnet was the first TCP based service? If that's true you have a vaild point, but otherwise it's quite a stretch to say all TCP protocals are based on telnet.

  16. Re:This will be nice on Application Layer Packet Shaping on Linux · · Score: 1

    They NOT capped. They are allowed to use as much bandwidth as the network can handle. Get on at 3 am, and you'll be able to download at a couple megabits. Interactive traffic is simply given prioritiy, and we apply fair queueing to make sure everyone gets thier fair share of bandwidth. Actualy, our lines are rarely anywhere near full, except for kazza uploads, which do seem to manage to fill up our outgoing bandwidth. If we do not shape traffic, network proformance will suck becaues TCP ACKs cannot get out.
