This is just an extract of their FAQ concerning NAT(ipMasq) and servers... could someone post the Service Agreement for Sympatico DSL (Canada)
From Sympatico HSE FAQ Can the 1-Meg Modem plug into my existing Ethernet hub? The 1-Meg Modem is designed to plug into a Network Interface Card (NIC). If you want to have your Sympatico High Speed Edition connection accessible by all computers on your internal network, it is recommended that you obtain a second NIC card for one computer and have it act as a gateway server and route all high speed traffic through that machine. The Sympatico High Speed Edition service will not support or guarantee service for any LAN configurations. they acknowledge that you CAN ipMASQ, but you're on your own...
Do you restrict any ports? The Sympatico High Speed Edition service is a proxy-based service. This means that all requests sent over port 80 must go through the Web caching servers. These servers are equipped with technology that maintains copies of popular Web objects closer to you, the Sympatico HSE member. Web Caching significantly speeds up your Internet browsing experience by reducing the use of congested Internet networks and by reducing the number of object downloads from popular Web servers. The Sympatico High Speed Edition service selected this architecture as most suitable for the residential high-speed user. Other than port 80, no other ports have such restrictions. No problems here -- I hope
Is it possible to create an Internet server using the Sympatico High Speed Edition service? No. Because of the dynamically assigned IP addressing, the IP addresses will be automatically reassigned at pre-determined intervals. As a result, an Internet server could not be established. It's not FORBIDDEN, just impractical... - - -
What about "fscker"? This could be readily generalized to provide some differentiation: an e2fscker is, of course, a Linux fscker, while a ufsfscker fscks BSD. And of course, someone who hacks DOS/Win9X/NT is a fatfscker.

Leo & Natalie// Anakin & Amidala It sounds like that would be a big love story. Is George trying to get women interested in Star Wars? Maybe my SO won't fall asleep in that movie... (*nudge* wake up, it's time for the pod race. *nudge* wake up, it's time for the swordfight);-) - - -
My initials are E.T. -- I've suffered countless jokes about that one when the movie came out. I dare not imagine one poor kid called JarJar. These people are sick sick sick.

We still have the matter of the incestual relationship between Bell and Sympatico, esp. in the high speed access business. They are still the only one in Canada offering DSL services and they offer it alledgedly under cost. Alternatives??? Well there are cable modems too, but they too are a monopoly (1 company per market). Actually, Bell + Cable is a high speed access oligarchy. There doesn't seem to be any offerings from the LD providers (Sprint, AT&T...)
We do need some kind of regulation against ISP price fixing or predatory pricing -- but stay off the content!
The RIAA does not care about: - music-lovers - artists - competition - free enterprise
All they see is their bottom line, and they will (do) screw any of the above to protect it. It reeks of hypocrisy when I hear their spokesperson wanting to "defend their artists" from piracy.
The not-so-bright incumbent [Tories] had his domain name registered by an opposing party [Grits].www.mikeharris.com ROFL!
...this kind of trick is slimy. Slimy? I think not. If Harris' campaign managers weren't asleep at the wheel, they'd have registered his name long ago. G.W. Bush and his team understand the impact of the Net, Mike Harris et al does not.
>...dave sent us hilarious proof that Star Trek is Satanic...
Waitaminit. This guy (not dave) is serious!!! It's not hilarious at all. These are the kind of people that go around shooting abortion doctors coz they think they're on a mission from God.
1- Do not look at the song names on the Phantom Menace soundtrack. There are major spoilers 2- There will be a Souvenir Guide on sale in Canadian movie theaters ONLY.
It sounds awful! "...like the voices were dubbed by Steven Hawking" (overheard from one of the employees setting up the display)
The sounds are activated by smartcard chips that comes with each action figure. Speculation: The smartcard does NOT contain samples, only unique ID to trigger sample X on the Commtech unit. Can anyone verify this?
This is one case where they should NOT have a demo unit up... except for collecting purpose, the unit is utter garbage. You're better off ripping the samples from the Quicktime movies and arranging all the document icons on yer desktop.
