Their web site is often unavailable. Or did they evaporate?

Good day!

Hello Chris,

Their web site is often unavailable. Or did they evaporate?

Can't say that, the site comes up every time I want it. Your ISP might
have a problem with their DNS server. Problem might be to get them to
admit it...

I get this:

crcarle@mango2:~$ ping www.zetex.com
PING www.zetex.com (212.103.248.103) 56(84) bytes of data.

--- www.zetex.com ping statistics ---
5 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 3998ms

So DNS works, just no response. I'll try when I go home for lunch to
see if it's just our network.

Good day!

We use a LOT of their small transistors, I would hope we would have
heard something before now!

Hello Chris,

I get 171ms average. Not bad from Sacramento to Manchester and back. So
I assume it must be something with your network.

Try traceroute to see how far the packets get. There may be a router
between you and Zetex that can't figure out how to forward the packets.
This won't necessarily be your ISPs fault but that of somebody in
between.

If you're using some kind of protection (firewalls, malware and antivirus protection etc)
that might be the problem. PeerGuardian blocked avrfreaks.net for me. Took me a while to
figure out what's going on.

It was "written" by "Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0", so it's almost a sure
thing it's f--ked up HTML, and it's loaded with whatever Microsoft is
calling javascript these days; javascript, even _proper_ javascript, is
evil in the first place, but let M$ get their hands on it, and, well, you
see the result.

They should fix it. "Works for me" is an unsatisfactory answer to webpages
that exclude any customers. They need a competent HTML writer. Somebody
needs to let them know that their shitty webpage is driving away money.

Cheers!

Hello Rich,

That is the case with many European semi mfgs. In the beginning I wrote
to their big brass. They didn't care. So, my design-in rate of their
parts now looks like a capacitor discharge curve.

If they don't get it soon their sales reps will have to start learning
Japanese, Korean and Chinese.

Many webpages have this problem, but in this case I simply don't get any
data, broken or otherwise.

I'll check it out tonight...

Good day!

I've noticed that many sites of Asian origin try and oblige you to download
unnecesary character support btw ( not to mention their emails too ). Hardly
good web design there either.

And what is it with sites wanting you have to have Flash installed all the time
now too ?

Hello Chris,

Many webpages have this problem, but in this case I simply don't get any
data, broken or otherwise.

On some sites I got a blank page even though they pinged ok. Others just
show some flash player logo. Probably they want to tell me "If you don't
install some download gizmo we do not want you to see our products and
we don't want your client to buy 5000 of them a month". For me that's a
clear sign never to buy stock in auch a company, so it still serves the
purpose of avoiding an investment mistake

Or you got "mxTracker" on your box, hitting god-knows-what-else than zetex
but failing because your ISP has blocked the sites!

Spend 30 hours+ getting all instances of that malware off my box ... one
should run a collection to pay some Russian characters to break the
author(s) hands!!

Many ISP's routinely block Pings these days! So it does not tell you
anything.

That one is beyond me and is my pet internet peeve! Why I should have
to wait a few minutes downloading software I don't want before I can
read a web page is baffling. When Mazda Canada pulled that one I
stopped looking at their cars and bought a Toyota. The Flash people
must pay good kickbacks or something.

I kept getting the flash detection message at IR's site and just told it
to go away - it doesn't seem to do anything useful..

Today however I *had* to finally succumb and download it just to view a
design brief at Fairchild's site.

Firefox seems to do a decent job in surpressing obnoxious flash
