Too true... Let's hope that Sentech will be amenable and receptive to the powers of my persuasive charm... Maybe a first step would be a response from Doomy/ProAsm to my previous posting about remote interrogation of my home-based webcam-based security system via tunnelled comms?

Hi guys...
As not all things are equal, I have taken the liberty of escalating your request to Sentech's support. This will hopefully mean some detailed feedback. I myself have never delt with such security video feedback technology. So I passed it on to the pro(erm)fessionals.
Will get back to youo guys as soon as I have more info.
Doomy out.

Thanx Doomy - just to reinforce understanding, the basis of my query is that remote interrogation of my security system demands tunnelled comms via a static IP, and I would like to know if Sentech would supply a static IP for this need, without difficulty/penalty/hassle: the technical details of my system will, however, remain private (otherwise it would not be much of a security system, obviously)...

I Don't see what all the fuss is about getting a static ip. If we get one, kewl, if not oh well, its not like you get one with adsl.
I would want one to host my own site with what ever space i desire but if I can't broadband internet will just be fine!

The "fuss" has already been stated. There are a fair number of users out there that would like to use their connection as an extension to their business or for an application that does not work well with dynamic IP. This could either be hosting a small mail/web server or connecting remotely to fetch mail, documents etc.
Most people who run a SOHO cannot justify the 3-4g's a month for Diginet just to get a static IP, thus they put up with ADSL and dynamic DNS services because there is no alternative. I bet a large portion of the ADSL SOHO market would move over to Sentech knowing they could get a static IP (plus having no cap helps) []

Hi
Just so you guys are aware. The procedure is kinda painless. Sentech will at no extra cost provide the fixed IP addy. The only requirement as stated b4 is fair use and one other minimum requirement. That of a 512k Mywireless connection. SOHO is logically the intended market for this special "Service". What I have to confirm is the definition of fair use.
That said. I can only provide Sentech's decision on the matter. What we are talking about here are semantics. The service as a whole is deliverable. The specific client needs are more a posititional product marketing service. Compare the VSTAR 512/50 and the VSTAR/Custom solutions and you will see that the Custom solution is a negotiated one between the potential client and Sentechs service line capabilities.
but, Enough Pre-sales technobabble.

Mate, we dont get MUCH with adsl, so using that as an argument just aint gonna cut it. I sure as hell hope Sentech isn't just another Telkom, but rather a company who is going to try produce a package that <b>works</b> for both them and us, the consumers.
