Why Nick Catalano was banned from #nanog:
<NickCatal> dgold: Dsl works via ATM, thats layer3
<NickCatal> it's layer4 in the way that it uses POS instead of ATM standard..
<NickCatal> FDDI can only support up to, maby, T1 speed..
<NickCatal> t1 = 1464kbps..
<NickCatal> I always thought FDDI was frame relay..
<NickCatal> OC-192 over POIP is as dumb as you get it..
<NickCatal> if this business works out.. the first thing I am doing is
having my engineers give me some way of making a layer 4 nap.. even if
it's pure bullshit.. and then I am presening it @ Nanog
<gavroche> DS3 IS NOT FIBER || <NickCatal> gavroche: of course it is..
<NickCatal> UUNet has the world's worst designed network
<NickCatal> I go on the UUNet backbone, and I'm like.. where's the core!?
<NickCatal> I think we can make money offering gig-e at the cost of a T1
<NickCatal> naa.. my job in the new company is to make ideas and provide a
public face to the company.. a 14 year old selling enterprise hosting
looks good on Leno
<NickCatal> Cogent and InterNAP can be mixed and merged.. Cogent didn't
fail. Cogent has almost no expenses. it costs next to nothing to be
Cogent.. <NickCatal> they own their network.. they own their equipment..
they don't pay for it.. there are no leased lines.. <NickCatal> they most
likely don't pay for transit..
<NickCatal> I am about to call my lawyer about this and file lawsuits
against 95% of the #nanog room to find out who has taken advantage of my
system
<NickCatal> ...also with logs of everything said in #nanog I have over 50
cases of showing pornography to a minor..
