ActiveDNS is our dynamic DNS service for use locally in SA. It keeps a domain name up-to-date with a the changing IP addresses that you ISP gives you. This is so that you can access machines (at home or at work) that are connected to the internet by ADSL. Not recommended if you require 99% uptime but great for backup systems or for fault-tolerant networks exploiting cheap local bandwidth.
ActiveDNS supports the DynDNS2 protocol which means that you can use any DynDNS client to keep your IP up-to-date. On Linux or similar systems use ddclient. If you're on Windows and don't need anything too complicated then use our very own ActiveUpdater. Head over to the ActiveDNS site for more info.

Emon is a monitoring tool that replaces paper-based logging with an SMS based capturing system. Data capturers out in the field send codes via SMS to the Emon number - 31028. Emon validates and stores the information and provides web and email reports and exports of the data.
Emon stands for Environmental Monitoring and can be used for any kind of manual data capture.
Data is captured by codes that are predefined for each Emon service. This allows many records to be batched together in a single text message.
Emon is currently in use at a number of landfill sites where it is necessary to know the quantity and type of waste. As vehicles arrive at each site, monitoring staff compose an SMS with single letter codes of what kind of vehicle and what kind of waste is arriving. Once they reach the 160 character limit of a text message, they send off the SMS to 31028 and start with a new message. Thus hundreds of records can be captured in almost real time at a cost of less than R10 using any type of cellphone.
