RIPE are more than happy to service organisations in Asia Pacific with ASNs and netblocks, for example. Stanley, ASNs are free if you are an APNIC member (as is address space allocation). Note that membership does not automatically entitle you to allocations of autonomous system or network numbers however; you still need to satisfy minimum requirements for allocation which are all documented at or near www.apnic.net. If either of your upstream providers is an APNIC member, they should be able to obtain an ASN for you. When I have done this for customers here in NZ I haven't charged anything for it; your mileage may vary. It _was_ the wrong mailing list, though :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
