Web Accelerator April 30, 2008

We have created a proxy server for NCATS Dial-Up users to use as a Web Accelerator. The application is simply in testing and we would like to invite volunteers to test the effectiveness of this server as we determine application and processor needs. The Proxy server will compress most of your web-browser content including text and jpeg images like any web accelerator.

To use the Proxy server, simply configure your web-browser to use proxy.ncats.net on port 8080. If you are using IE6, please also enable proxy for http/1.1 in your advanced settings.

Alternatively, you may download and use this utility to enable and disable the use of proxy for IE6, IE7 and Firefox: ncatsproxy.exe

Keep in mind, this is simply a test. You may provide feedback to support@ncats.net

New Spam Filtering (cont) November 17, 2006

For those users whom have ncats.net email addresses, check their email with a client like outlook express, and DO NOT use NCATS Internet service, please be advised. Once our new Spam filtering services are fully tested we will no longer be allowing users outside our network to send mail using our outgoing server without authentication. This has been a popular move by many ISPs to control and reduce Spam vulnerability. However, unlike many providers, we will be providing an alternative to continue using NCATS mail servers for sending email. For these special cases, please ensure the following:

(Only applies to non NCATS Internet users such as AT&T DSL or Comcast/Charter Cable Customers)
1: Set outgoing mail (smtp) to use port 587 instead of 25
2: Enable SMTP Authentication.

If you require assistance, please contact our support desk.

Thank you.

New Spam Filtering November 16, 2006

NCATS has implemented a brand new spam and virus filter for all ncats.net customers. The new filtering is powered by Barracuda networks and will make use of both quarantine and blocking. You will be receiving notifications on a daily basis that will allow you access to spam filtering services. From there you will be able to sort quarantined email, turn the spam filter on or off, and adjust your personal block and allow lists.

The daily email will be from support@ncats.net with the name "NCATS Spam Filter"

Further information will follow as we settle in with the new system. Thank you for using NCATS!
