I never responded to the colt is an international company and Gatel isn't . Gatel is part of a huge backbone of companies, telekom.at is affiliated "part of gatel, gatel is telekom.de. We have datacenters in italy, france, belgium, and bought a big chunk of the old kpnquest backbone. Gatel isn't a s...

Gatel/Aixit will be putting in an application to link an ipv6 server, in the very near future. We know that it is another European server but we have good routes to the united states and welcome anyone and everyone (to all of our services!)

thanks to everyone who made this happen. Especially my partner maik, for being a quick learner, but especially for being a good friend. Thanks to Garion, zap, and all the eu-admins and opers that always had a smile and a helping hand. Now users get us up to 10,000 users!! (users not drones).

Thanks for the input Silence. The only thing is that if you know me, i'm the last thing from being a vanity person yet I don't require my opers to have compliant spoofs as long as they're not super long ( because i'm lazy and have to cut and paste or type the damn host ). I was very anti dns spam bu...

Well, after I give a vote to my staff and I started to look at the lack RFC compliant ISP's no less users. EFNet kinda created the phenomenon of the vhosts why not let the dorks have their fun. If it makes someone that happy or they feel that cool for having their : bob@i.am.so.damn.cool.because.i.d...

I'm very torn on this whole thing. Part of me thinks that a lot of DNS spam out there is horrible. Then again, EFNet / IRC pretty much created DNS Spam and what does a long vhost really hurt ? I'd like to see what users and other oper/admins have to say about this subject. Oh and vote on the poll, a...

I guess I should of put a :) there. I was just joking Corrupt, w/ that US comment.

bleh blah ugh

Thanks Manic! Also, if you are affiliated w/ COLT there are other EU COLT locations. I Know for a fact there is a nice location in France. Why not consider looking at one of these locations. I too would be happy to lend a hand in what ever way possible. I too second the notion that the vanity domain...

First off- GATEL itself was not hosting the servers. The servers that were busted for "WaReZ" were rented servers from so stupid web hosting, server rental company that will remain unamed. When we decided to link a server we took every aspect in to mind and used the best practice for every aspect of...

Busted warez servers - those were all rented servers hosted in other companies cages at GATEL. Leaky roof ? - The facility is state of the art like any other data center, I've never seen or heard of leaky roof :) Gatel has increcible bandwidth and is a wondeful company, I think everyone will be very...

There's no doubt that the free OS's don't stand even close to the Commercial UNIX's . AIX, Solaris, and HPUX are the best Enterprise OS's out there. HPUX fly's and is a wonderful OS, most people just don't use it enough to know it's advantages, there's a reason why it's one of the most popular Enter...

Can I connect to a server on EFNet and pirate software from anoying DCC bots that are in conflicting values of the rules of the server that they are connected to ? Oh and wasting server resources.


-Tibar- AIXIT/GATEL

also something to remember when connecting to irc.efnet.us, you can inadvertantly connect to a server that does not agree with your client. ( I don't know if by connecting to efnet.us if you can be pushed to say he.net or something like that but, some severs do have different requirements, other tha...

The ping timeout is also secondary to the sendq. Servers that have low sendq's for the general clients will have earlier timeouts etc. The longest ping timeout right now is irc.inet.tele.dk . I guess this would be one of the better servers to keep your nick :) (that is the real basis behind this que...

I wasn't trying to imply that demon is shady or anything like that. I'm intrested in running hyb 7 +demon. The problem i have is the diff from bootbay doesn't patch hyb CURRENT or hyb STABLE correctly. I was wondering if there is any current version of the patch. I've messaged leeh and had no luck. ...
