(usr-tc) Support "issues" update...
by Jeff Mcadams 19 Apr '01

19 Apr '01

Well, I *still* haven't heard anything from anyone at 3Com/CommWorks that can actually *do* something about the travesty that is support at 3Com/CommWorks. I'm still waiting to hear from someone other than my sales rep. or NC. FWIW, I got a quote from Patton Electronics yesterday. For just *slightly* more then the cost it would take me to upgrade my quad cards to DSPs to be able maybe finagle some way of getting v.92 support, since 3Com/CommWork's support contract policies and Terms and Conditions have been designed by madmen, I can *totally* replace all of my Total Control Equipment with Patton Electronics equipment. That's sad. - Free tech support - Free software upgrades And 3Com/CommWorks seems to think that support is something that they should make money on. At this point, I have totally lost all respect for 3Com/CommWorks and its executives. I think its criminal that they are allowed to drive this company into the ground like they have been for the past few years. I look forward to the entertainment of upcoming shareholder lawsuits. -- 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.

(usr-tc) Off-Topic Bay Networks AN Router
by Mark Thornton 19 Apr '01

19 Apr '01

I received a BayStack Access Node AN router from a customer to configure for T1 access. They do not have the docs or the login info. I have been unable to find any docs at Nortel who bought Bay Networks and apparently threw everything away. Does anyone have experience with, or docs for the AN router? I'm assuming there is a password recovery scheme like on a Cisco or other systems. Thanks for any help provided.

(usr-tc) Tunneling... PPTP or L2TP, I don't care!
by Stephen Amadei 19 Apr '01

19 Apr '01

Hey guys. I have finally been able to put a nice little LNS/PNS on our server. Here's the scoop... we are moving our TC's out of our main NOC to save on backhaul charges... the problem is that now that our TC's are going to live on separate networks, we have two dilemmas: Static IP addresses are unable to move freely between POPs, and we cannot offer content filtering. The solution, IMHO, is to make all our content filtered users use IP's from a static IP pool, and tunnel all these "portable" static IP addresses back to our main NOC, behind our filter box. So I built a linux box with lots of IP tunneling stuff, including PopTop (the PPTP server) and L2TPd. Our clients are supposed to not notice anything strange... except that it works. Their accounts are defined in our radius (I have two sample configs, one using L2TP and another using PPTP) using Tunnel-Type="PPTP" (or "L2TP") and Tunnel-Server-Endpoint="our LNS/PNS". No other settings have been changed on the USR-TCs at all. With PopTop, I compiled it so that it would give out addresses to specific users. Upon trying PPTP, the client dialed in, and a tunnel was created but PopTop complained that it doesn't understand Message type 9, an "Incoming-Call"... as it turns out, PopTop is not a PNS at all... but a PAC... it seems the Windows world got the PPTP implementation backwards and most vendors have it all backwards... so it looks like PopTop is a dead end. The client was unable to connect, so it dropped... yet the tunnel from the USR-TC to the PNS stayed up! Wierd. So I tried our sample L2TP client. L2TPd won't allow giving out Static's based on user, but I suppose I could code that myself. Anyway, the client connected, and a tunnel was built, but it looks like the PPP session dies. The client disconnects, yet the tunnel remains according to the Hiper ARC. At least the PPPd session appeared to give out a valid IP address. The server squawked about not having handlers for LCP, but PPPd gave me no real reason for dying. Anyway, I am stumped. Is anyone really using tunnels from the Hiper Arc successfully? Could post me some baby steps to help straighten me out?

[Fwd: Re: (usr-tc) contacting 3com re: v.92 updates and support issues]
by mark ross 18 Apr '01

18 Apr '01

Hi all, Guess what ??? I got a call from 3com this morning ! Mr. Alex Lopez. It sounds like he is truly concerned about our problem with the v92 code on quad modems. He said "I will run it by the product managers and let you know". He also mentioned that a upgrade might be possible if they were unable to support the quads. The amazing thing is that I did not include my phone number in my email ( They took the time and effort to look it up ). I should know something within a day or two and will let you know what happens -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: (usr-tc) contacting 3com re: v.92 updates and support issues Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2001 15:47:25 -0700 From: mark ross <mark(a)ccis.com> Reply-To: usr-tc(a)lists.xmission.com Organization: ccis To: usr-tc(a)lists.xmission.com References: <20010410153305.A5022(a)iglou.com> Hi all, I just sent mine in.... Sirs, I am writing to let you know that we have been supporters of the USR/3com TC 1000 RAS servers for many years and we have quite a few of your products in our pop's. We are not a large ISP (our dialup subscriber base is about 2,000) so we don't really have any need to upgrade to the newest high density RAS servers.
