Again, only one logged in on dial-ins. It's taking a few minutes
toget the login prompt instead of a few seconds. I can see many giving
up, thinking whole system is down. I did give up earlier tonight and
went and caught up on M-net.

Ditto on the several minutes wait. Something must have to time out before
Grex agrees to open a connection.

Grex is off the Net. The router at the other end of our Internet connection
isn't seeing its ISDN line. I've been waiting to hear from the person whose
apartment it is in about whether it is unplugged before I call Ameritech, but
I should porbably go ahead and call Ameritech at this point.
I'm also working on the several minutes to log in problem. I expect to have
it fixed shortly.

Ok, it's an ugly fix, but the delay on dialing up is gone.

I've called Ameritech to report the problem with the line. They're supposed
to test it and call me back sometime soon.
Given the weather, I'm guessing this is a wet cable problem, but there are
any number of things it could be.

4 hours later, there are still only 4 users on - all local, of course.
(jdeigert, remmers, other, & me - hey, Sindi, don't you folks ever sleep?)
Steve, we really appreciate your working on this stuff all night. Pity the
net link is still down ...

This feels like the Grex of six years ago, before we even *had*
an internet connection. What a nostalgia rush!

Use Item 113 to tell us what Grex was like before the internet connection.

The name server should be working for stuff that it is authoritative for, but
not for anything that it needs to talk to the outside world about.
I just called Ameritech back since I hadn't heard back from them. They are
promising to have it fixed by 6 pm Saturday, but they say it may be sooner.
I'm in the middle of some other stuff, and didn't have time to try to track
things down sooner.

Thank you. That answers my question.
Also why you and I are the only ones on Grex at this moment, steve.

It's now past the promised 6:00 p.m. Internet line restoration time.
Any idea when the darlings at Ameritech are going to get around to us?

They're still telling me it's in the central office being tested. I can't
get ahold of a supervisor there this time of night, and the person I talked
to on the phone said she couldn't get ahold of the people at the central
office this time of night. I need to do some serious screaming at them in
the morning.

The M-Net Board voted to create a Grex Conference on M-Net, which
should be up in a day or less. FWs are: John Remmers, Steve Andre,
Valerie Mates. Hopefully this conference will be used from time to
time as needed, just as the M-Net Conference is here on Grex.

Figures. I picked the one week to be out of dialin range that I really need
to be able to use the dialins.

Is there anything I can do to expedite the progress or lack of it? Grex is
my primary, actually only e-mail aonduit and I am getting very frustrated.
Let me know what I can do to get things rolling again.

We are back on the Net, as of around 6 pm today. Ameritech lost track of our
trouble ticket twice, apparrently, such that it spent most of today waiting
around well past the most recent due date for a technician to pick it up.
I finally got ahold of somebody there who was willing to spend a lot of time
on tracking this down, and had a technician paged and told that our ticket
was his highest priority, and to get out there and fix it *now*.
We should be opening the system back up to users as soon as the mail finishes
coming in. Right now the system load has come back down to a reasonable
level, but incoming mail still has the Net connection running at 100% of
capacity.
