Apr 19 03:59:23 <Dave> hey, are any of the servers here by chance cable modems?
Apr 19 04:00:00 <grifferz> no. peanut is business dsl, which is the closest.
Apr 19 04:00:00 --- [Dave] is away (out!@ [7.00p])
Apr 19 04:00:02 <grifferz> why?
Apr 19 04:00:32 <grifferz> in earlier days we had accepted cable modems.  but now we are big enough to not accept them.
Apr 19 04:00:50 <Dave> just caught wind of some rumors, didnt think it was true
Apr 19 04:00:58 <grifferz> oh?
Apr 19 04:03:48 <Dave> also, if we apply, ther'll prolly be a guy applying that runs a newnet server applying shortly after
Apr 19 04:03:55 <Dave> ther'll=they'll
Apr 19 04:04:17 <grifferz> you haven't been talking to someone called "Fraggle" have you?
Apr 19 04:36:37 <Dave> heh
Apr 19 04:36:39 <Dave> yup
Apr 19 04:36:50 <Dave> how'd you guess that?
Apr 19 04:45:28 <grifferz> slander about cable modems is his style, every time I hear about newnet it reminds me of him, and he connected here earlier, said nothing and left.  a number of the staff here came from xnet where both I and Fraggler were admins and his dislike of me was made clear then, though never really sure why.
Apr 19 05:03:20 <Dave> him and i dont really talk, but he likes me for whatever reason
Apr 19 05:03:37 <Dave> i thim him and i have had like 5 lines of convo
Apr 19 05:07:55 <grifferz> we have had cable modems as servers before.  when you are very small you take when you can get.  fraggle should appreciate that this network was built from nothing, and it is not easy to have high principles about cable modems when you have 10 users and some guy with a cable modem has another 10
Apr 19 05:08:50 <grifferz> but I think all of the people in charge of deciding which servers are linked appreciate that cable modems are not suitable or reliable enough, and often they are run against the AUP of their ISP.
Apr 19 05:09:03 <grifferz> we already have too many servers as it is
Apr 19 05:10:39 <grifferz> anyway, I really must sleep for a few hours now, see you later
Apr 19 05:16:44 <Dave> later
Apr 20 00:09:55 *** Dave (~dave-9ft6pBsG/[email protected]) Quit (Quit: Leaving)

April 2002.

I don't think I have anything more to contribute in this thread.
