Hi @all,

sorry for barking in here, but since I've encountered several problems, one 
of which is that there is no mail address on any of the project's pages 
except this one, I simply have to misuse it.

I've just tried to migrate to OpenNIC, however it didn't work.

1. I replaced the nameservers listed in resolv.conf by the two german ip's 
listed on your homepage. However, since the two environment variables $DNS1 
and $DNS2 still kept the values pppd once defined them with I had to run a 
/etc/init.d/networking stop|start - of course after having commented the 
"usepeerdns" options in /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider. (Two vital necessities 
that somehow slipped the author of the HowTo on your site). After that 
nothing on the internet was reachable anymore, whence I must assume that 
those nameservers aren't active anymore.

2. In order to be able to post these problems on your forum I tried to 
register on your site. The result always was: "Illegal token", however 
unsophisticated a password I chose. I fancy it's the "@" in the mail address 
your server's script stumbles upon - which wouldn't be fanciful at all but 
most dilettantish indeed.

Hence I must conclude that however interesting and necessary (in the light of 
all that wikileaks hullabaloo of these days) a project like yours appears to 
be - the more disappointing yours actually presents itself. Too bad...

Is OpenNIC by any chances still alive? If so could anyone shed some light on 
me?

Many thanks in advance
Martin
