Dialup at 256k?
by John Scrivner 15 Nov '01

15 Nov '01

Is it true that dialup lines will support 256k speeds without ISDN or DSL in the future? I have doubts about it. I guess I should not repeat rumors when I do not have any way of proving what I say. I do not even know of any technology that could do this in any way. I guess I should think a little before I type an email message. Rumors can be really bad things and probably should not be repeated. Has anyone been telling you any rumors lately? Have you been telling rumors that maybe were not substantiated? Maybe you should consider the Source before you believe what you hear. Sometimes the Source could seem as powerful as General Patton. Always consider that the Source could be wrong. My belief is that even Patton could have been brought down if there were rumors being spread about him by a Source that had only their interests in mind. We will all surely succeed just like Patton if we do not listen to, or worse yet, repeat rumors that may have no grounds. John Scrivner

Changes to the USR-TC list
by Pete Ashdown 14 Nov '01

14 Nov '01

All of you received a message today resubscribing you to the USR-TC mailing list. This is due to the fact that I changed the list management software from Majordomo to Mailman. Mailman is much easier for everyone to use, you can customize your list settings easily from a web browser. In addition, it has many nice features to help me as a list manager deal with dead email addresses and existing subscriber changes. If you were formerly subscribed to the usr-tc-digest list, you will need to change your list settings to "digest"! Otherwise, you will be receiving emails as they are sent to the list. I would encourage everyone to peruse their settings. The welcome message you received will have specific information on how to do this. I would also suggest you chaneg your list password to something else. The password that was assigned to you was random, but it is always a good idea to change new passwords to something only you know. Thanks everyone, and enjoy the list! Pete

(usr-tc) Lost NMC Stop accounting
by Nicanor Pulido 08 Nov '01

08 Nov '01

Hi, anybody does/did experience this annoying accounting error? About 10% of our total calls have ARC Start, NMC Start, ARC Stop accounting packets and no NMC Stop packet. Percentage seems to increase with the number of calls. Scenario: 3COM TotalControl 1000 with SteelBelted Radius, radius does not matter since the NMC does not send the Stop packet. Any idea is welcome, thanks in advance. - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo(a)xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.

(usr-tc) hiperarc + freeradius woes
by jason 31 Oct '01

31 Oct '01

I'm not sure how active this list still is but here goes :: I'm having a strange problem with getting Framed-IP-Address to work with a HiperArc Total Control Unit. It seems that even though the Framed-IP-Address is set, it won't respect that and assigns a dynamic, when my freeradius server is in action. It works however when talking to the old Cistron server. The othe thing is that my good ole portmaster 2 works fine with either.. These hiperarcs seem to be finicky beasts and I imagine that either I'd not seeing something it wants or there is some configureation setting that we're not aware of that needs to be tweaked Here's a copy of what I recieve when I do a radtest to either server.. localhost is the freeradius and svr4 is the cistron. bash-2.05# ./radtest username(a)domain.net password localhost 5 testing123 Sending Access-Request of id 57 to 127.0.0.1:1645 User-Name = "username(a)domain.net" Password = "2\006\n\323\316\371G\3334`*\315\033\020I\010\355" NAS-IP-Address = radius1.egix.net NAS-Port-Id = "5" rad_recv: Access-Accept packet from host 127.0.0.1:1645, id=57, length=68 Service-Type = Framed-User Framed-Protocol = PPP Framed-MTU = 1500 Framed-Routing = None Framed-Compression = Van-Jacobson-TCP-IP Framed-IP-Address = 209.131.199.209 Framed-IP-Netmask = 255.255.255.255 Idle-Timeout = 0 bash-2.05# ./radtest username(a)domain.net password svr4.iei.net 5 testing123 Sending Access-Request of id 61 to 209.131.216.202:1645 User-Name = "username(a)domain.net" Password = "\241`s\307r\330rQQ\2244x\233\314\344\367\334" NAS-IP-Address = radius1.egix.net NAS-Port-Id = "5" rad_recv: Access-Accept packet from host 209.131.216.202:1645, id=61, length=68 Service-Type = Framed-User Framed-Protocol = PPP Framed-MTU = 1500 Framed-Routing = None Framed-Compression = Van-Jacobson-TCP-IP Framed-IP-Address = 209.131.199.209 Framed-IP-Netmask = 255.255.255.255 Idle-Timeout = 300 Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. -jason - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo(a)xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.
