(usr-tc) Quicken online payment process not working with TC
by Tom Swenson 10 Feb '00

10 Feb '00

I am a new migrator to TC's from PM3's. I still have 4 of the PM3's. I use Quicken from home to balance my checking account and to do online payments, and I found out this morning that if I am connected thru a PM3, it connects to the host server just fine, but if I'm connected to my TC, then it just times out and will not connect. Has anyone ever seen this or could tell me what ports this might be running on?

(usr-tc) Accounting STOP packet problem
by Mark Thornton 09 Feb '00

09 Feb '00

After looking over several weeks of data it appears that my STOP packet problem is coming from only a few clients, one using and ascend and one using a cisco router. Is there a scenario where a dropped multilink channel would not generate a STOP packet? Is there a configuration that I may have missed that might resolve this?

(usr-tc) radius hints and TC
by zip-usrtc＠ran.zipcon.net 09 Feb '00

09 Feb '00

I'm running cistron radiusd and using some classic hints that allow users to login via a script with a capital P in front of their login name to start PPP. It works fine with PM3s but does not appear to work correctly with the Hiper TC here. Instead I get a prompt: Login/Network User: Has anyone dealt with this situation?

(usr-tc) multilink PPP
by Jim Baxter 09 Feb '00

09 Feb '00

Hello., I've been experimenting with the Linux MP Multilink PPP Driver. I can dial in to a PM3 with multiple analog channels, however when I dial in to the Total Control Unit I can't bring up the second chanel. I'm running NMC 6.1.17 ARC 4.2.32 DSP 2.0.81 I'm dialing into the same DSP for both channels.. Some other users of our system are experiencing difficulty bringing up a second channel as well with their Diamond SupraSonic Shotgun solution modem. When I do a 'show all config' from the ARC CLI I see that PPP Multilink PPP is ENABLED.... Any thoughts?

(usr-tc) l2tp tunnel authentication secret
by Kalev Nurklik 09 Feb '00

09 Feb '00

Hi. What's the radius attribute for l2tp tunnel authentication secret? Tunnel-Hostname (from HARC product reference) or Tunnel-Auth-Hostname in USR dictionary does not seem to work. Neither does Tunnel-Password or other similar attributes. I have tried different attributes but with no success whatsoever. All the time I get "Could not get password from radius" from l2tp debug output. Maybe I got wrong attribute numbers but I doubt that because I checked all of them with "mon radius". On the other hand "mon radius" is not be very reliable as I found out - inconsistencies with USR dictionary names (similar but not exact) and not reporting right values for at least one attribute - Tunnel-Security. When I define a local HARC user with "set tunnel user ... password etc." then the l2tp tunnel secret is equivalent to the "system transmit authentication name" and authenticating works. For the radius equivalent HARC product reference just states dryly - "You can also set this from RADIUS by using a VSA"(page 180). So what's the VSA? Or am I missing something else? One thing that I noticed is that when I use radius defined tunnel account then there is no challenge AVP present in SCCRQ from LAC(HARC) and if I turn off the tunnel authentication on the LNS then l2tp tunneling works. I guess I need to turn off authentication on LNS because HARC has no clue about what the secret might be and just drops the connection attempt with l2tp debug message "Unauthenticated message from remotehost" when the LNS presents the challenge AVP in SCCRP. With local HARC user there's always an challenge AVP in SCCRQ from LAC and as I stated before authenticating works... This (I guess again) is probably due to HARC knowing what the tunnel secret is for that user e.g. the "system transmit authentication name". So obviously there something missing or wrong with the radius defined user. Anyone have any ideas what that something might be?

(usr-tc) Support Contract survey
by Jeff Mcadams 09 Feb '00

09 Feb '00

OK...here are initial results of the support contract informal survey. I only heard from 13 people (including myself :)...a mere fraction of the number of people on the list in total. Keep sending the information...I'll continue to tabulate and have more updates as I hear from more people. The current count is 9 people don't have support contracts, and 4 do. Some notes: - One "yes" only had software coverage even though they would have liked to have greater coverage. They had to settle for software-only because of the cost - One "no" actually has coverage on a chassis, but only because that chassis was bought new and came with coverage...apparently you can't buy a chassis anymore without coverage...interesting loophole in the contract rules here. This person indicated that they would rather have *not* gotten the coverage on the contract as they thought it was a waste of money. Many of the people that emailed me as a "no" mentioned it was the cost and/or the rules that prevented them from getting a contract. I will re-iterate that I believe that the root of the problem stems from 3Com considering Customer Service as a "Business Unit". In other words, they want Customer Service to be a revenue positive part of 3Com. While my previous posting that discussed this was somewhat inaccurate (the Customer Service Organization, CSO, apparently doens't get the revenues from the support contracts, the business unit that sells the equipment - in the case of TC, its the Network Systems Business Unit - gets the revenues...the whole thought of trying to make Customer Service revenue positive ends up with an attitude that ends up screwing the customer. I just recently went through the process of trying to obtain a service contract again...partially to try to determine if any improvements had been made to the process...partially to find out if the "Unbundled Service Options" on 3Com's web site would be useful here...and partially because we really would like to have some coverage on some of our equipment. The current status is that the support coverage rules are still in place (contracts purchased per-chassis rather than per-card, and all chassis at a site have to have the same coverage...of course last time we tried to have different coverage at different sites 3Com didn't honor it), the support options listed as sold items (ie, not special deals that are made for specific instances) were largely the same as they've been for the past 3 years. The best I got from the discussion was that service options could be discussed (ie, a special deal is how I understand this) if its "a sound business case that makes sense for the customer and for 3Com." Let me suggest that a sound business case for 3Com would be to not lose their customers which is what is happening...3Com is verging towards losing us as a customer even...and we've been a USRobotics/3Com customer for at least 5 years (35 Amp power supplied and dual analog 14.4 modems) -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm(a)iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456 - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo(a)xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.
