We started seeing reports of it shortly before the terminal server started
being used.

My problem with the terminal server comes when entering responses.
If I am correcting to much (backspacing), it might skip to next line.
Then I need to do a Cntl-L to review the text input thus far.
Also, I'm typing faster than the characters can be echoed back
at me.

Ditto on the typing problem. Very irritating.

Right now, mail is slow, and so is grex. It is highly annoying.

(FWIW: I am on ttyq6 via hyperterminal and I have not
seen anything unusual.)

I haven't been seeing any of these problems myself, either.

Senna, when you got that example of fractured text, did it arrive in a blur
or slowly trickle onto your screen?

The WWW connection seems nice and fast to me this morning. It seemed a
lot slower yesterday afternoon.

Seems a lot faster right now.

Re #107: I've experienced similar bouts of fractured text, and it's
always arrived in a blur, not a trickle.
I've never had a problem with lag on the dialin lines. It's always
pretty fast. Occasionally character echoing seems a *tiny* bit
sluggish, but nothing I'd call severe.

Okay, more data points on the text loss problem.
Just logged in under Win95, using Kermit-95. No data loss. My test
was to do several "who" listings in succession.
Now logged in under Win95, using Procomm for Windows, version 2.0.
Significant chunks of missing data in the "who" listings.
I've got hardware flow control enabled for both programs, as well
as in the control panel modem settings.
All this is consistent with previous observations. So at least for
me, part of the problem seems to be with some of the comm. software
that I use.

Well, I *used* have the missing-text-problem, but it cleared up
magically months ago. However, Grex is so s-l-o-w now that it
is taking a second or two to echo each character. Well, some
characters.

John, were you sending the same init string to the modem from both terminal
programs?

It zips by me. Not a slow trickle.
Grex has never been able to keep up with my typing, although right now it's
doing as good as it ever has.

query...is it still the plan to offload email to the old computer once
the new one is running grex smoothly? it should really help having
mail running on its own computer right?

There are plans to offload *some* mail processing onto a 2nd box, but
not the old sun4 box - it costs too much to operate. Chances are it
will be a 486.

Re: way back to #67, about me getting some text inverse, i'm using
vt100. Also a few times the text appearing comes across the screen a letter
at a time.

During a reboot the queue is still active. Could the message that grex
is down be shown when entering the queue, rather than having to wait
through the queue, log in, and then be kicked off? If not, could the
message that grex is down be shown for a couple of seconds, before the
disconnect? I have to try to log on again and turn session capture on
to later read the message, it is shown for such a brief instant.

#116...how much more does it cost to operate a 486 than the Sun4?
is the idea then to sell the old sun?

Watts vs. Kilowatts is the issue. Those big Sun machines draw a lot of power
compared to a 486 PC. Our power bill has been about $80/month, almost %95
of it for the Grex CPU itself.

A question:
I've seen reports of text loss and reports of laggy connections. Does
anyone get *both*? Depending on what modem you have and what init string
your comm program sends to it, you might get either behavior in response
to line noise, but I'm thinking you'd never get both.
