Reaching M-Net On or After December 27, 1999
| 
Dec 26 17:45 UTC 1999 |
M-Net is co-locating to WWNet in Livonia on Monday, December 27.
This is the item we will use to help people reach the new M-Net
via telnet, dialin, or whatever.

The co-location process is now under way after a one-day delay.

Anytime you can post the Phone numbers, it would be greatly
appreciated.

year old female. don't ask... :> )

As I read the account, only one number is being answered by M2-net,
994-4644 I think. I don't have time to play with it myself.

I just used grex's implimentation of lynx to check Arbornet's
web page. It still has the old Number (734)996-4644. Perhaps something to up-
date when staff has time?
(I'm still without membership here, or I'd just telnet in. $60
is a LOT of money right now...)

I just tried calling 996-4644 and the blasted modem would not connect
to mine. Thanks for the phone number.

Last night I dialed 585-0010 and got a WWNet login prompt.
I tried "mnet" followed by "<CR>". No joy.
I tried "m-net". No joy.
I tried "arbornet". It hung up on me.
WTF do you have to do to get to M-Net now?

mnet
No -.
When you type mnet, it will give you a password prompt. If you hit return
there, it should connect you.

I've found the connection/interface flakey at times, Russ. Just keep trying,
and it WILL log you in, and transfer you to the Arbornet/m-net login.

http://www.arbornet.org/m-net/ still has outdated information on it.

I have tried reaching M-Net through WWNet, and all I have seen
after the WWNet login/password prompts is a dead line (with an
active echo). No M-Net login prompt, though M-Net is accessible
from Grex via telnet.

Don't know what to say, russ. I've found a simple tap of the enter key
after the modem connects will prompt WWNet's login, after that I've had very
few problems. It (WWNet) does seem to have longer pauses when Internet
traffic is high, but that's about it.

I wonder if the mix of CR and LF matters on the "simple" Enter tap?

Re #20: The pauses I've seen are upwards of 40 seconds. Talk
about a huge waste of time.

I sign on early in the morning, or after midnight. Is it safe to assume
you're an evening user?

It could be a parity issue.
