11:58.17clive-hSoit seems
11:58.23clive-hSo even
11:58.37murbso no more a tenneramonth and as much as you can eat :p
11:58.48clive-hI need a new ISP clearly
11:59.02murbI cancelled my demon account i wasn't using when they scewed up the billing.
11:59.06clive-hThe fair use thing happened when they went to ADSL max
11:59.14murbi was happy to be canceling as they even screwed up the callelation.
11:59.42clive-hCustomer DISSeervices weren't very helpful
12:00.08clive-hI'm looking for a new ISP and I'll be ringing up for a MAC code
12:00.24murbmy parents use a service which has a limited between 18->24 and unlimted outside those times.
12:00.57clive-hthey're putting me on a rate limit of 128K between 9am-10pm
12:01.28murbthat isn't very funny :(
12:01.35clive-hNope
12:02.10clive-hI think it's time to move ISP
12:02.22wethrinThere's only a few ISPs that offer unlimited ADSL MAX!!!1!!
12:02.32clive-hyes
12:02.39clive-hI know of a few
12:02.42murbwethrin: and you typically pay lots for that.
12:02.46wethrinIndeed
12:02.49clive-hWebtapestry being one
12:02.51wethrinI think Zen does, don't they?
12:02.51murbas they assume you are going to use it all the time.
12:02.59clive-hand cheaper than Demon
12:03.20murbmy parents are with eclipse, but they have the above limits i mention on their cheapest QoS.
12:03.42clive-hI don't want limits
12:04.09bilarhi'm very happy with zen
12:04.15bilarhit's not unlimited though, i think
12:04.22clive-hI'm amazed I shipped 127Gb
12:04.23bilarhwell, not for the 25quid i pay for 8mbits anyway
12:04.35wethrinI went for unlimited 2Mbit
12:04.38wethrinWe use it quite a bit
12:04.49murbi have unlimited 16mb
12:04.50rhowe+MiB plugin for Eclipse
12:04.55bilarhi usually land at about 3.5g usage per month :P
12:05.07clive-hI might give bethere a call
12:05.08cpufreakI've done 150GB sine the start of feb

12:06.22cpufreaktorrents are for kiddies
12:06.25murbwethrin: torrents are a bit of a bad idea if you are downloading stuff you aren't supposed to.
12:06.30clive-hI want uncapped ADSL again
12:06.39murbthe copyright enforcement people don't seem to realise about usenet yet.
12:06.41bilarhi thought usenet died a death about 10 years ago :)
12:06.46cpufreakno
12:07.00murbalthough when they start collecting reader logs..
12:07.06murbs/collecting/demanding/
12:07.18murbalthough that would be something like fishing which probably isn't ok.
12:07.30psnlwethrin: dled top gear yet?
12:07.38wethrinNot last Sunday's
12:08.32murbdo ISPs including multicast traffic in their limits?

12:08.47cpufreakmurb: yes they would
12:09.21bilarhcpufreak: damn!
12:09.28cpufreakas the traffic will still travel through bt centrals
12:09.39clive-hHmmm that's a point, multicast would be handy
12:09.41murbcpufreak: not if they are llued.
12:09.58cpufreakmurb: indeed but 99% of dsl in the country is non llu.
12:10.08cpufreakllu typically wont be capped anyway
12:10.15cpufreakmy adsl2+ isn't
12:10.44clive-hwhich isp is that?
12:11.18cpufreakits a trial
12:11.35clive-hahhh right
12:11.52cpufreakbest trial ever, 14 months and counting
12:11.56clive-hBethere are the only ISP in my exchange who offer ADSL2 I think

13:30.38dick_turpincan you (via apt-get) upgrade/replace mepis with Ubuntu?
13:36.27boudiccasdick_turpin; doubtful
13:37.18dick_turpinboudiccas: Not even if I rammed a suasage in the USB port?
13:37.33boudiccaseven more doubtful
13:37.39goibhniudick_turpin: are you running any important services on it or is just user settings you want to migrate?
13:38.14dick_turpinboudiccas: The updates from synaptic state ubuntu-dapper.x.x.xxx
13:38.59boudiccasdick_turpin; well try it [after backing up your home folder] and if it breaks you get to keep the pieces :)
13:39.42boudiccasbut i very much doubtif it will work
13:42.09dick_turpinboudiccas: Hm, I've come buy a lubbly Fujitsu Amelo D-7830 everything I try and install on it hangs except the Mepis disc I have even Live CD's just hang
13:46.07boudiccasperhaps its hardware is too new for the linux software to recognise? Have you tried centos or the latest FC?
13:46.57halidick_turpin: played with bios settings for acpi and usb legacy support?
13:47.09halidick_turpin: i hade some problems getting my core2 working with the default bios crud
13:48.18dick_turpinboudiccas: Yep, both failed as did the opensuse disc and the opensuse-net-install disc
13:48.33boudiccasdick_turpin; knoppix?
13:48.50boudiccasmandriva [or whatever its currently called]?
13:49.28dick_turpinhali: You may be on to something and may stop me doing something silly. On the boot up screen it complains that there is a problem with the BIOS pnp, I was gonna flash the BIOS tonight
13:50.21dick_turpinboudiccas: Knoppix failed. I have loads of discs started at 6.45pm finnished at 12 midnight last night
13:51.12boudiccaslooks like you're stuck with mepis on that box then, that is until the software catchs up
13:53.08dick_turpinOn the 3rd attempt with Mepis I chose the 'Old Hardware' feature and it installed I wonder if thats the same as Suse when you get the 'safe settings' install option?
13:53.31boudiccasdon't know. i haven't used/tried suse since 8.0
13:54.20goibhniudick_turpin: there should be lots of parameters to try when you boot
13:54.34goibhniudick_turpin: the ubuntu alternative disk has some different stuff too
13:54.47goibhniulike the low-memory option iirc
13:55.02halidick_turpin: might just be enough to slap noacpi and acpi=off as kernel options
13:55.09halior is it acpi=no ... i can't remember
13:56.04dick_turpinhali: I may give that a try
13:57.12dick_turpingoibhniu: I should have tried all of those paramiters but I got myself in a dicky fit
13:57.25goibhniudick_turpin: does it have an intel gpu by any chance?
13:58.04goibhniuI had some fun with one before ... the graphical installer crawled and then froze on the map ... had to change the memory settings for it in the bios and it was fine
13:59.34dick_turpingoibhniu: Um I dunno, I'm just a gifted amateur. Its an Intel Pentium P4 3GHz

16:24.17tripitakadumb dns question here: if I have a caching only bind server, and I want it to forward all requests for a particular domain domain to a particular name server, can I do that?
16:32.44wethrinShould be done by use of the appropriate ns records :)
16:40.36tripitakawethrin: should be, but in this case I'd prefer to intercept queries to foo.com and send them on to a certain nameserver, rather than advertise that nameserver as SOA for foo.com
16:41.37tripitakait's probably in DNS & Bind 2nd edition, under 'don't do this'
16:43.11wethrin2nd!? That's old
16:43.23wethrinYou'd have to set yourself up as authoritative for the foo.com zone
16:45.25antiphas1Sounds like a silly question to me :)

16:53.53niv_one_threeis anyone here in to QoS ? I want to put them iptables to action
16:55.29cpufreakdoes your ISP support QoS over your DSL line?
16:55.31cpufreakif not then why bother
16:57.17niv_one_threesort of
16:57.26niv_one_threeoh
16:57.43niv_one_threeI need it to give sip piority over web and email
16:58.20tripitakait will make sense if you are maxing your upstream
16:58.20niv_one_threeI mean,I want the sip packets to be the first to travel along the connection
16:58.34tripitakabut it won't have any effect on your inbound traffic
16:58.35niv_one_threegot a 128Kbit up stream
16:58.57niv_one_threeya, I am aware I can't police incoming
16:59.18niv_one_threeI allready read about the diffrent QoS methods
16:59.33niv_one_threeBucket toss or some thing
16:59.44niv_one_threei also so two sample scripts
16:59.58wethrintripitaka: You can still do bandwidth limiting on your incoming, though
17:00.06niv_one_threeyet I am missing an example of how to give SIP priority
17:01.23wethrinFind what ports it uses
17:01.25niv_one_threeSIP sessions start on 5060.
17:01.45niv_one_threebut the actual stream uses RTP
17:01.56niv_one_threeand the port is alocated dynamicly
17:02.21niv_one_threeI would be glad just to have the right line to give google to flash a good script
17:02.28niv_one_threeany ideas mates?
17:02.58wethrinYou may be a bit stuck with dynamic porting
17:04.05niv_one_threecan't the firewall "understand" the SIP signalin and "learn' which ports its going to use?
17:04.41niv_one_three(I think it was call turn bucket somthing)

17:06.50wethrinThat'd be a huge abstraction violation
17:08.52niv_one_threewethrin: proxy? to destigwise the sip trafic?
17:09.49niv_one_threeI mean - why do ppl use QoS at home any way?
17:10.03niv_one_threeI see SIP as the obvios cause..
17:10.14wethrinPrioritise interactive traffic over bulk transfers?
17:10.21wethrinIt's why I use it at home
17:10.33niv_one_threeI see
17:11.14niv_one_threewethrin; pls tell me what pharase to google to see if there is a script to priorities SIP
17:11.27niv_one_threebtw, as far as I understood
17:11.29wethrinI have no idea
17:11.37wethrin"traffic shaping sip priority"
17:11.53niv_one_threeQoS is ment to CHANGE the tos
17:11.55niv_one_threeTOS
17:12.19niv_one_threeso - the sip client may supply the right TOS by itself - right?
17:14.17wethrinMaybe
17:14.35wethrinBut that assumes it's polite and well-written

17:16.19niv_one_threeso you advice me to ask the guy that writes twinke?
17:16.23niv_one_threetwinkle
17:17.07wethrinsure
17:18.39wethrinI can't think of a particularly obvious way to pick out SIP traffic just on TCP headers alone. Unless there's something in the TOS field
17:19.21niv_one_threewell these packets are RTP stream
17:19.40niv_one_threeso if I fliter the rtp stream - I can pririties it
17:19.43niv_one_threeright?
17:20.29wethrinDoes RTP use defined ports?
17:22.28niv_one_threenot sure
17:22.42niv_one_threebut the header should indicate an RTP stream
17:23.08wethrinBy the TOS field?
17:24.19niv_one_three<PROTECTED>
17:24.39niv_one_threethis college just suggested checking msn for it (WTF?)
17:27.02wethrinmsn search
17:27.20wethrinTOS only indicated Type of Service, not quality
17:29.22niv_one_threebut if I got TOS set right , it will automaticlly get priority - right?
17:29.35wethrinNot necessarily. Depends on your TCP stack :)
17:30.09niv_one_threepls explain in one more line - if you can
17:32.34wethrinWell, your TCP stack may or may not honour the TOS field
