Dear Hank, Sorry for the delay, I am not on the nanog list anymore (it's hard enough to follow naipr ;-) Just to correct this: Fortunately you were not the first one who returned an AS number. Since we have many hostmasters working at the RIPE NCC the particular hostmaster you dealt with might not have been aware of this. We even make regular surveys to find out if networks are multihomed. Some people then realise that they don't need an AS number and return it. And the procedure is really easy: You just inform us that you don't need the numbers anymore and we take appropriate action. We are always happy to take AS numbers or address space back. Don't hesitate :-) Kind Regards, Mirjam Kuehne Manager Registraton Services RIPE NCC * -------- Forwarded Message * * Return-Path: [email protected] * Date: Tue, 11 Mar 1997 07:36:48 +0200 (IST) * From: Hank Nussbacher <[email protected]> * To: Paul A Vixie <[email protected]> * cc: [email protected] * Subject: Re: Class "B" forsale (fwd) * In-Reply-To: <[email protected]> * Message-ID: <[email protected] * il> * MIME-Version: 1.0 * Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII * Sender: [email protected] * Status: RO * * On Mon, 10 Mar 1997, Paul A Vixie wrote: * * > > Yes, I know many (David and Geoff:-)) are probably calling me Pollyanna * > > right about now and it is true that most companies won't return it * > > if they think they can sell it.
