Network Co Op

Since the last post on this list was made in June, I am hereby declaring 
this list dead.  Unless anyone has any objections, I will be deleting it 
off my servers in the next few days.

If you have any links you would like to share, please add them to the 
links page of the Net-Co-Op Wiki.

http://www.net-co-op.org/cgi-bin/wiliki.cgi?links

And don't forget to re-add yourself to the members listing!

Thanks,

Janet

Folks, mailman just threw up, and it looks like some of its old data was 
corrupted on the old server.  I'm going to reinstall it from scratch, 
and do a bulk resubscribe for everyone.  Sorry for the trouble, but I'd 
rather return to a known good configuration than be chasing corrupt files...

Thanks,

Janet

Please re-add yourselves to the members page on the net-co-op wiki. 
Sorry for the trouble.

This is sorta OT, but I'm hoping somebody here can help. A friend is 
looking for a provider in or near Vancouver, BC. If folks have 
suggestions/recommendations, please let me know. Thanks!

On 06/03/04, the server that net-co-op.org was running on crashed hard 
due to hardware problems.  The provider of the dedicated server was not 
able to fix the hardware over the course of several days, so that 
contract was canceled.

By the 8th, I signed a new contract for a new dedicated server. 
Unfortunately, it wasn't available to me until the 12th.

Of course, not only did the original server crash, but it had been 
corrupting data for a few days before that.  Naturally, my automatic 
backup scripts did a great job of backing up the corrupt data.

All content on the net-co-op wiki was lost.  I still need to reconstruct 
it.  Everyone will need to add themselves to the member listing again 
once the wiki is back up.

The restoral of the mailing list info seems to have been successful, 
although I haven't fully tested it yet.  If you have any problems with 
mailman, please let me know.

If you sent any messages to the list after 06/02/04, there is a strong 
possibility they were lost.  If you unsubscribed after 06/02/04, my 
apologies, you'll need to unsubscribe again.

Thanks,

Janet

I help run a small colo coop in the Boston area, physically located at
hosting.com/allegiance/soon to be XO's facility in Charlestown.
There's been a bunch of FUD surrounding XO's bankruptcy acquisition of
ALGX, so I'm looking around to see what options I have should XO
decide to terminate colocation services at that location as a part of
the acquisition.

We currently have about 20 1U machines plus some shared hardware
(switches, terminal services, etc) in a full cabinet, with power,
basic remote hands included, a /24 net block, and 512 kb/sec 95%ile of
bandwidth, so I'd be looking into something similar.  If anybody has
suggestions for solid providers, please send them my way.  Thanks!

Hi, does anyone have rack space in Los Angeles for rent or know of a
good provider?

I have a customer looking to rack one win server and would like
unlimited bandwidth. That may not be possible but anyone know of a
decent rack space provider with reasonable transfer rates?

Thanks in advance
Conrad

Any interest in a San Diego Colo Coop?

I have a cabinet at Level3 and I also have some friends at Level3 who 
have some cabinets and are interested in starting up a SDCC.

Without too much thought our goals would be:

a) Professional network/service.
b) Professional hardware, this will not be a "ghetto colo"
c) All costs distributed, bandwidth paid by usage.
d) Remote Console Access, Remote Reboot access, ACL access only to 
"board" or "ops" team members.
e) Rackmountable servers only, no minitowers or other crap.  Sun 
pizzaboxes are fine if you bring a shelf.
f) No porn/gaming/irc.  This is close to "non-profit and individuals" 
but if you want to host your mom's commercial painting's gallery, or 
you run a small business that's fine.
g) The ability to be under one account to leverage equipment costs, 
expertise and eventually bandwidth/cabinet costs.

Any one in the area also interested?  (Or if you are remote, would you 
be interested in sending a server if price was less than $50 [hoping 
for ~$30]?)

Thanks,
davidu

hi.  you're being bcc'd on this message because you've cooresponded with
me regarding the www.vix.com/personalcolo page, and perhaps sent me some
content for it.  today i added the following section:

	What if I'm not a power-user?

	If you're an Internet user in a bad neighborhood -- as evidenced
	by your mail not getting through to a lot of people, who then
	tell you that they're blocking all mail from your ISP since
	there's effectively no abuse desk -- but you're
	unable/uninterested in operating your own secure computer in
	some remote facility, then you'll need to locate a provider who
	can offer you a suite of services like e-mail and web hosting,
	who does not also offer those services to spammers and script
	kiddies.

	The services you probably need are SMTP AUTH (for outbound
	e-mail), IMAPS and/or POPS (for inbound e-mail), and WebDAV
	and/or FTP (for web publishing). In this model, you'll use your
	local cable or DSL spam-haven as an access path toward a real,
	professionally operated ISP that might be on the other side of

I'm looking at building a new 2U unit.  Does anyone have any good 
recommendations on cases?
