A person on our campus wants to FAX information to someone whose host
name is cl.cam.ac.uk.  She has emailed back to the address inquiring
about any possible FAX number, but does not yet have a reply.

Apparently there is a really urgent need to get this moving as quickly
as possible, so she has asked me to see if I could figure out the
address.  I don't know how to reach across the UK gateway to find out
what college that is; my assumption is that it may be Cambridge
University.  If we can determine the organization, she could call the
switchboard there, give the person's name, and maybe operator there
could supply a FAX number.

i.e. The problem hinges on figuring out what organization generated
     the message....

Does anyone know the address cl.cam.ac.uk ?

Does anyone know how to do the equivalent of "whois" for the UK sites?

Original Problem Description:
     BGP between NEARnet, and Alternet died at MIT2. When
    the session would initiate again received a flury of errors
    and session went back down immediately. Was causing problems
    with CPU load on mit2-- disabled BGP, until was able to
    address problem off hours. Relied on mit1/alternet BGP.

    reloaded router between 21:46-21:47 which brought BGP
    session back up. Forwarded information to Cisco, and
    received an image which should provide more debug info.
    Will load image into the mit3 router, and run for 24 hours.
    If all goes well, will look into scheduling loading image
    into mit2, and possibly other core routers.

Note:
     Have decreased the input drops at BBN. Router is busier
    than usual with the mit2-prospect link down, traffic from
    Harvard to the T3 is choosing the path via BBN, MIT2.
    At Cisco's recommendation set the scheduler-interval
    command on bbn1. In conjunction with increasing the input
    queue, this has caused drops to decrease to a trickle.Tested
    to mit cleanly now, and with 1% loss over 500 pings to
    ans.net, from BBN.

     Hi.

     I remember seeing, uhm, last week I believe, some mail from 
NEARNet concerning my root DNS entry.  I've gotten other reports.  There 
seems to be a problem with it.  Some how it has been messed up.  I find 
the new NIC at G.I.S. to be less than reasonably responsive to my 
requests.  I was wondering if NEARNet could help out.  The NIC seems to 
listen to the mid-level people more these days.

     The NIC seems to have my root server as 

     ds5000.dac.northeastern.edu.      129.10.1.14.  

This is INCORRECT.  My local root server is now and has always been,

     helios.northeastern.edu.          129.10.1.2. 

     I don't know how it happened.  When I query ns.nic.ddn.mil. with 
host, others used dig, it shows up as ds5000.  I checked the other root 
servers and they're messed also.  Looks like the NIC screwed up.  

     Um .... HELP!!  This is causing major DNS name rsolution problems.  
Everyone is timing out and using my secondaries.

	Hi.

	Is anyone out here on NEARnet running xntp3?  I'm looking for a few good
	local peers, both primary and secondary.

	Anyone interested?

We're not running xntp3, but are running xntp.  You should be able to peer
without systems (NIC.NEAR.NET and NOC.NEAR.NET) without any problem.  Both
are stratum two servers with a set of diverse stratum 1 peers.  You can 
query our servers to find the current peers.  NIC and NOC plus a diverse
stratum 1 server make a good mesh of time sources.  

	Does the NEARnet NOC have any reliable NTP service? 
		(I.e. with a radio clock?)

Sorry, NEARnet does't have a radio clock (at least not yet).  There are a
number of them in the New England area though; you should check in clock.txt
in the distribution for more details.

Note:
     Made one more configuration change to the bbn router.
    Turned off fast switching to the two serial interfaces on
    the same MCI card as Ethernet 0. Pings to mit, and ans.net
    improved from 1% loss to 0% loss. One concern is that this
    places a slightly larger load on the CPU. We will be
    evaluating, and backing out the change if performance is
    affected. Right now things look fine.

Let me comment on the "small dents" so people don't get the wrong idea...
there is a dent on the driver's side door that is truely small as there is
no paint damage and you need to get within 3 feet of the car to notice it.
There is a dent on the passenger side fender which is about a foot in diameter
but I hammered it out which did some paint damage and then I painted it with
primer so it wouldn't rust... the primer area is about 2 feet square... the
dent area still has some hammer marks and would need some work to look perfect
but hey, I'm only asking $600obo and the thing runs like a top...
