GREX Publicity Meeting
| 
Jun 11 22:03 UTC 1992 |
Well, the Grex Board Meeting was held on my kids' last night in town for
awile, so I selfishly spent the time with them instead of attending. So...
we need to have a publicity meeting! When and where? I vote for Monday,
June 23--Dominicks Ristorante (near the UM Law School) 7:30. s'okay?

misti, i'd be happy to link any notice to or from agora about such a
meeting, and i think that coop would be an appropriate place to herald
plans, too. i'm not sure that all the users know there's a publicity
cf yet, or that they feel it's a place generally to keep informed
about important grex things. i'd like to help spread the word about
this conference. lemmee know how i can help.

Thanks keats. Thanks Valerie. I've put another pointer in agora to this
conference--and yes, linking the meetings item may be an excellent idea.
Okay, so let's set up another meeting: what's good for you all?

If there's a meeting coming up, I'd mention it in the announcements
item in Agora, and probably in Coop as well.

this item is now agora 18, too. i feel that publicity for grex is a funda-
mental concern of the system and belongs on each community conference.
so here it is. i also urge people to join and read the publicity conference
because you never know when you'll be able to be of help at minimal trouble
to yourself.

You all are welcome to meet without me--or I'll announce a meeting for after
I've done moving, gotten back from my trip to San Antonio, and gotten back in
swing of being a Mom again after a 3 month hiatus. (Maybe mid September)

We can (should?) meet immediately after the GREX open meeting on Sept. 9.
The GREX meeting starts at 7:30, so we should be in session by 9:30.
I'll bring flyers, and I request that anyone else who has some hanging
around bring them too. We can distribute them to everyone who wants to
paper towne. This is the season!

Really? Is Grex SUPPOSED to be 7E1? I've always called at 8N1, but
then, I don't have problems with high bit ascii on my VT100 emul.
(running off an Apple //: comm software ProTERM 3.0)... I noticed the
high bit problem on the IBM, but I always used space parity... hmmm...
oh well...

7E1 has always worked for me, for most UNIX systems I call.

I use 8N1, and have no problems.

I have to use 7E, on Grex & on at least one other Unix system I've met. But
that one a friend had told me was 8N1, & when I checked back with him he
assured me that he did use 8N. So apparently the emulation is the critical
factor in whether 8N works.
"stty everything" gives (for me):
> old tty, speed 2400 baud, 0 rows, 0 columns
> even odd -raw -nl echo -lcase -tandem tabs -cbreak
> -nopost -noisig -stopb
plus key assignments, for whatever it's worth. Man says "even" and "odd" in
this context mean to allow even and odd (respectively) parity on input. So
possibly I'd be able to log in with no parity, even though it looks like I'm
getting garbage? Have to try it sometime.

The only problem with using 7E1 is that Grex seems to set the high bits
on the characters it sends, making them show up as the graphic character
set on IBM compatibles (silly as they are :) )... Is there someway to
force the high bit down, besides calling at 7E1 or 7S1? It's annoying to
always have to switch for d/ls...

The /etc/ttydefs file could probably be changed to use 8N1, or you can
do "stty -even -odd". This only controls parity on *input*, though.
I don't know if there's any way to control parity on *output*.
Your communications program should switch to 8N1 automatically when you
start a download.

Does Mr. Remmers dare attempt to stiffle an ongoing discussion, which is a
result of the 'natural drift flow?'

Gack! Now we have drift about drift. Is that "meta-drift"? :)

Everybody. Even a response on the original topic (which is Grex
publicity, by the way) would be accused of drift.
