  1. Re:Windows IPv6 support on Will Vista Overload the DNS? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yes, you can install IPv6 stack for WinXP with a single command. However, the stack does not support DNS query in IPv6 (not AAAA query via IPv4), which kind of destroy the hope of deploying pure IPv6 network.

  2. Re:I wasn't aware of this. on VoIP Backlash From Phone Companies · · Score: 1

    As I know, TLS support for SIP proxy is available for ser in their CVS version. Check out iptel.org/ser for details. Repro proxy from SipFoundry also has TLS support. Endpoints that support TLS include Snom hardphone and Xten's softphone. As for SRTP support, there are still much debate about which standard to use. Sipura has this in some version of their firmware. Check out voip-info.org for more details.

  3. Re:The other way around. on VoIP Backlash From Phone Companies · · Score: 1

    SIP over TLS has already been developed. There are already an abundance of RFC's for this. There are also several proxies and endpoints that support this already. SRTP for the media stream has also been done for at least one endpoint that I know of.

  4. Re:In Canada... on FCC Rules Telcos Need Not Provide Naked DSL · · Score: 1

    I think you're mistaken. Internet only without cable has always been available from Shaw. I don't know about SaskTel, but in the East, Bell has started offering Naked DSL. I hope Telus will follow soon.

    I'm experiencing this and I'm not alone as evidenced here and here.

    Sandvine's product is being speculated as the culprit. More details here. Is there anyway around this? I don't want to be stuck downloading new distros (which are coming soon) with slow BT.

  12. Re:where is broadband on Where Is The Broadband? · · Score: 1
    I guess I'm lucky I haven't needed any support so far.

    Telus is inferior to everything Shaw has to offer except for the price and no harrasment when you're on downloading binge. Their newsgroup retention is horrid, speed is slower (tops at 150kBps or 1.2 mpbs), and somehow I have a feeling that their DNS server is a bit screwy, maybe they have some sort of transparent proxy. 40 GB/month is not much at all, a few movies, games and linux ISO's and you're already over the top.

  13. Re:where is broadband on Where Is The Broadband? · · Score: 1
    From what I read here, it is definitely cheaper. Regular price of $42 Canadian for a Shaw cable modem connection where I live (Vancouver). I think that's about $30 US.

    Shaw cable modem service

    I can get ADSL from telus for $34, but they are just a nasty company and I refuse to deal with them.


    Actually I switched from Shaw to Telus, since Telus is running a promotion $24.95 for 12 months (modem rental included). Shaw has been breathing down my neck for downloading over 40 GB/month. Plus from what I hear, Telus does not enforce their download cap.

    Are you talking about Novus? Damn, they haven't entered my building yet. Are they not enforcing their download cap? How about their nntp servers? Good retention period?
