Re: linux with nonstop's system works
Hi Guy,
Be careful with Barak - from my experience with them they seems to be
sometimes very fast, sometimes very slow, and lots of time - they route
is lost....
I'm talking about the time slow/fast at the same times - meaning they
could be very fast on 11 PM and the same day tommorow - to be VERY
slow..
I don't know who is doing their network routing stuff, but either their
equipment to connect outside Israel is very bad or their technicians
playing the guessing game there..
I'm not trying to flame here anyone special - but from my last year
experience with Barak, I wouldn't recommend them as my dial-up ISP -
maybe they're good at the ADSL - I don't know, but for Dial-Up I'll
never use them again.
This is just my personal opinion.
Why am I telling you this? I suggest for you to get-up (LEHAKIM) a squid
proxy at your friends machine which is connected to another ISP - just
in case the route falls there...
Thanks
Hetz
