Dialing in to 3000 or 5041 gives me a blank screen. I repeated this several
times just now. It worked earlier today. I can telnet.

We had that problem earlier, too. Couldn't get on without dialing in, so
couldn't post to say so. Tried repeatedly with no success. Waited maybe 15
minutes, tried again, got on. We were dialing 5041, but I suspect that it
was in use & we got something else.

It works now. 5041. Scott said something about replacing the hub again.

Why is Grex chasing away those that dial into the advertised
number of 761-3000. I dial, and no answer. 5041 worked.
?

Scott explained that there are actually two sets of modems in use at grex and
they are not all interchangeable but he will try his best to fix things. The
28.8 modems came without instructions so are not yet installed. Perhaps some
other grexer with infinite experience can get them working. Perhaps grex
could start telling people to dial 761-5041 instead, as this does not crash
downloads with zmodem or kermit the was 3000 does, if it is not possible to
simply switch the modems on these two lines.

Grex (pine) is taking forever to send email and I cannot get out of the wait
(I don't know if waiting would help) even with Ctl-C, I have to hang up.
Tried this twice. Things worked earlier today.

(assorted weirdness going on. system's going slow, there was a
spike in the load, and, as of right now, attempts to telnet in are
closed upon login.)

(valerie reports that Grex is closed to telnet connections while the
mail spool catches up. no bomb, just a minor op error.)

Advertised number of 761-3000 is still sending people away.

Hmm. I'd changed that modem because of the complaints about flow control.
Tim, do you get connected when you dial 761-5041? There are two different
types of modems in the pool, and I have to be careful that fixing one person's
annoyance doesn't cause complete failure for somebody else.

I would be willing to do some online research to try to find either the
instructions for the modems that dang got, or another set of used modems that
come with the manual, if someone will tell me what to search for. My ISP says
they have Portmaster with 48 modems and they think that is the minimum number,
but I ran across a 1996 reference to a PM3 with 20 modem possibility that was
being used with 7 modems. The ISP started wtih 56K modems so has no old ones
lying around unused.

When I dial 761-5041 I get connected. When I dial 761-3000 I
get ignored.

Isn't 761300 a 2400 baud modem? Or has it been upgraded?

That may mean that the modem on that line has now been turned off, so that
it eventually hunts to another line, or something like that.

Not likely. Dunno how grex is provisioned from the CO but the only
time a number dialed will hunt a trunk is before the first ring.
Thus this is more likely a DTR-not on the RI. Its been thankfully
a number of months since so I forget but the last time I delt with
such an issue it was the modem cable and not the modem itself.
Also one should consider the bigger picture, just because yesterday
one number on an hunt trunk rolled over to the next is no reason
to assume the same is today or that it will in the future.
Most of the folk that know how a POTS should work are long since
gone and been replaced by 'yo's on minimum wage who haven't a clue
unless the hi-tech laptop tells them. Welcome to the world of
'deregulation'....(you pay more now for less).

Grex's net connection seems really sluggish today, but maybe it's just my
path.

Slowness is gone and the web server is back. Apparently there were
vandal problems. From the motd:
Grex's web server is temporarily down, and Grex is very slow due to
vandals requesting the same web page over and over again. -vm
