Re: Posix

Posix is here. Whilst waiting for Telkom to install a new Metro Ethernet
at our new Datacenter in Midrand (many months now), we are using IPINX
to carry us to SAIX and then on to IS and MTN.  

We can't see MTN - I'm told that they have recently implemented some
sort of Return Path verification? This may be the problem.
IS seems to be fine though.

You really should see 6083 via 'Posix->IPINX->SAIX' - though we are
advertised via LINX (London) for International.

Of course e-mails from MTN may not get through!
Phone should work though.

We have asked for assistance and are waiting on fixes.
