Hello,
 
A misconfigured EGP AS number was the cause of the asymetric routing which
we experienced yesterday afternoon.  Our datagrams were being sent directly
South via Seattle, but were returning via Toronto.  The error has been
corrected and our packets are now flowing as they should.  If you are
having any problems, don't hesitate to call.

Communications with the US and the rest of the Internet has been
reestablished.  Those using traceroute may notice an anomaly when going
through Epsp.BC.CAnet.CA.  This problem will be further examined by
BCnet and CAnet.  More details will follow.

Another fun evening has just been spent restoring the configuration 
of the Proteon router which connects BCnet to CA*net and the NSFNET. 
Connectivity was lost at about 8:30, and was restored for most
organizations soon after 10.  Sorry about that.  I have made some
changes which may help to prevent this from happening in the future 
-- I sure hope it never happens again.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to do with old Byte and
Scientific American magazines from around 1987-1989.  I'm cleaning
stuff out, and would like to get rid of them, but would prefer
not to contribute to the waste problem.  If anyone has any use for
them, let me know.

Greetings. I have some software that I've been asked to install on our
HP 9000/720 workstation. Alas, tha software came on HP formatted 1/4"
tape cartridge which nothing else in the world seem to be able to read
("You want standards ... no problem! We got plenty of standards!")
Does anybody know if/how one can read such tapes one non-HP equipment?
Failing that, does anybody in the Toronto (preferably western North York)
area have an HP 1/4" drive *and* another drive (4mm DDS format would be nice)
*and* would be willing to copy from one to the other?

This is a kind of urgent request so e-mail to any of the addresses below
would be best.

Thanks in advance for any assistance,

I fully agree with you. I personally have had no problems with the services
offered by Bell Canada or the rates they charge. I will be sticking with Bell
for long distance.

What I do find utterly amazing is you cliam to have gotten great service from
Bell. I have had about 15 phone lines installed in the various places I have
lived in Toronto for the past 4-5 years. Getting Bell to do something right the
first time is an total impossiblity (for me anyway). I can remember may phone
calls to 611 because my phone wasn't installed (they screwed up), wasn't
working, etc. Just 2 months ago I have a new line installed. It seems their
computer forgot about it because I was still getting billed for the old number.
Anyways, enough flaming Bell.

I like Bells services and don't mind the rates. I agree, we anjoy the
convenience of not having to pay for every single phone call. However, I wish
some one would teach Bell about customer service.

Mark

This sounds like it WAS interesting.  Too bad it didn't get posted till
almost 17:00 on Sunday Nov 1.  Since my feed was down yesterday, I didn't
get to read this till today (Tuesday).

Please - if you want your function attended, realize that it sometimes
take more than a few minutes for news posts to reach sites that are not
on your local network.  This is not really a flame - I'm just pouting
'cause I missed it.  Since most events of this sort are normally booked
more than 24 hours in advance, maybe the posts could go out a little
earlier?

Thanks
N.

   No kidding.  I don't ring up much LD voice, and zswamp makes a call only 
during the lowest price time window for that call.  Most often it calls 
between Toronto and Kitchener, which I believe is still less than 20 cents per 
minute.  zswamp is no better off if it can call after 5 PM in stead of waiting 
for 11 PM, and I don't make 'prime time' long distance calls from home.  
Unitel is therefore no bargain for zswamp, nor likely for me.
