...but not working, at least with Fetch. I can now connect, but the
directory list does not come up in the Fetch window. (Yes, the files are
in the directory!)

Hmm.  I just tried ftping to Grex (from Grex, since I was here), & was able
to do "ls" and "get" just fine.  However, if I did "dir" (which, in my
experience so far, normally produces an "ls -l" listing, I got nothing but
messages saying:
        200 PORT command successful.
        150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /usr/local/bin/ls.
        226 Transfer complete.
(I didn't try anything else - in a bit of a hurry.)  At a guess Rane's
Fetch is doing "dir" and getting nothing ...

That's right. I did check out my Fetch client on a UM server, and it works
fine. I found I could Put and Get files fine from grex - I just had to know
their name to Get them. When I Put a file, it showed up in the directory list
window on Fetch. Like Dave found in command mode, Fetch acted as though it
had done its thing in getting the file list, but nothing showed. I just tried
all this, so the problem has not gone away.

I have fixed my word wrap problem at the browser end.

Ftpd does indeed have a problem with "dir".  I hope to have it fixed today.

It's now fixed.

I think the new modems are not quite happy yet.  My suspicion is that the Grex
port speed keeps defaulting to less than 2400 baud, so I'm thinking about
setting those ports for 2400 baud only, and trusting the modem to deal with
it if somebody connects at 1200.

response 133 of 187: Mark Unseen   May 31 03:16 UTC 1997

That's guaranteed to cause lost output.  Only the 1st 4 ports have
rts/cts logic.  The other ports do not have handshaking.  If the modem
can't keep up with grex, output is lost.  There is no way around this.
Since flow control is essential with error correction or for baud-rate
mismatching, that imples all the ports except for the first 4 should
have error correction disabled, and the modem speed should be the same
as grex's speed.

Marcus, thanks for the quick work on ftpd.

Yes - ftp dir works fine now. Nice to be able to see what one is doing....

 *are* there any people left with sub-2400bps modems anymore?
 since 2400bps modems can be had at swap meets for pennies at
 some point it becomes cheaper/easier to stockpile a stack of
 them and *give* them away to the 1200bps users and not inconvenience
 everyone else using faster modems and waste staff time supporting
 the technology..

lately I've been getting a failed security checkpoint message when I leave
the first conference of my .cflist (or whichever file it is that orders my
conference membership).

  I have a 300bps that is my backup to my backup emergency modem.

 However, my Porsche is doing fine, and is showing no signs of failing.

sounds more like a '94 escort at the moment, omni.  My '96 28800 has yet to
fail, but we have two backup modems just in case.

I have a 300 baud TRASH-80 modem in the basement, which I haven't used since
'89. Probably works. 2400s are more common here though; and I use a NewComn
33.6K on the main brain, and have a 14.4K ZOOM out on loan to someone who is
trying to use it to play MOO 2 multi-player.

In answer to resp:131. I switched from MSIE to Netscape. It's much 
better, doesn't have as many security problems, and wraps the text like 
Backtalk expects it to.

For reasons I cannot fathom, I am unable to properly dialin to grex.  Dialing
both -5041 and -3000, I get garbled messages... I can tell what grex is
supposed to say, but for whatever reason the characters are changed to
gibberish.

Are you dialing at 81N or 71E?
