Layer 3 Switch Recommendations
by Fredy Kuenzler 09 Sep '05

09 Sep '05

Hi all, We are looking for an L3 edge switch with the following specifiacations: Must have: - 128 MB Ram - BGP4 - VLAN, Dot1q etc. (normal Layer 2 features) - 4 GBIC slots - 8 to ... 10/100/1000 Ports - not too expensive Nice to have: - 256 / 512 MB Ram or expansion slots - Cisco CLI ;-) (for the lazy sysadmin) - small box, 1HE is best Cisco C3560 with EMI would do the job, but I guess there are other boxes on the market with a better value-for-money ratio. We are also checking Foundry FastIron FX424HF, but has a 1.5 HE form factor. Enterasys X-Pedition 2100 has only 8x SX ports, but no standard 10/100/1000 Ethernet. Any other suggestions? F.

PDF open problem
by Matthias Hertzog 09 Sep '05

09 Sep '05

Hi there! It may be off-topic, but i wanna give it a try since this may be a webserver (Apache) configuration issue. One of our web developers is running crazy about the following situation: He has a php script that delivers a pdf file to the customer. The customer has the choice to "open" (in browser windows) or "save as..." (a file on the local disk). The php script declares the data stream as application/octet-stream to force the "open" / "save as..." dialog box in IE. When klicking "save as", the file is stored correctly to the disk. When "open"ing it, acrobat reader opens and tells "unable to finde the file". Changing the mime-type to application/pdf results in the pdf being opened correctly in the browser window, but the user has no "save as" prompt. Any ideas? Thank you & best wishes, Matthias

International panel on data retention in Montreux
by Felix Rauch 07 Sep '05

07 Sep '05

Sorry for this non-technical mail, but I guess the "damocles sword" of data retention is quite an issue for all ISPs. I would like to draw your attention to a unique international panel on data retention, which takes place before the annual International Conference of Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners in Montreux. You can also propose a speaker from your organisation for the panel, which could ensure the ISP's voice is heard too. If you are interested, reply soon to Daniel Boos of SIUG (daniel.boos /at\ siug.ch). The panel on data retention is during the afternoon of 13 September in the Montreux Conference Center and is organised jointly by European Digital Rights (EDRI), Swiss Internet User Group (SIUG), Communica-ch, Electronic Privacy Information Centre (EPIC) and others. A few well known international speakers participate at the panel: 1. Data retention (14:30-16:00) Speakers: - Cédric Laurant (Electronic Privacy Information Center, Washington D.C.) (confirmed) - Peter Swire (Ohio State University) - Hielke Hijmans (Principal Administrator, Office of the European Data Protection Supervisor) (confirmed) - Karel Neuwirt (former Commissioner, Czech Republic) (invited) Moderator: Ralf Bendrath (EDRI; University of Bremen) (confirmed) An invitation text in german and french has been distributed over the SIUG-Announce mailinglist: https://your.trash.net/pipermail/siug-announce/2005-September/000121.html English information is on the EDRI homepage: http://www.edri.org/panels A second panel on biometrics follows right after the panel on data retention, but is probably of less interest to this list.
