Today Freewwweb would only let me look at its own home page, no matter
what I typed in. In order to continue using them for anything you
apparently have to switch to Juno. So I went hunting for other free
ISPs that did not require Win95. I am starting a new item on this (I
found some good news).

Could we keep stuff that isn't related to Grex system problems out of
the Grex System Problems Item?

why would a 'ls -als' get me a disconnect? Twice in a row?
I was trying to clean up my mailbox. An effort not work trying again.

Re: #127 - i've had the same problem, usually when logged in as cfadm
and looking over a large directory like /bbs. My best guess was my own
flakey modem...but if others are getting it, too....????

I have been having problems with dropped connections, but have not noticed
any relation to ls. I assume it has something to do with Grex;s temporary
Internet connection.

Yesterday I was having a terrible time with Grex connections. I tried four
different phone numbers, and kept getting connected then dropped.

The inetd had died yesterday afternoon, so connections were failing then.

You know me so well.
TS, you should avoid Grexing while drunk. Which probably means you
should avoid Grexing altogether.

The consensus of everyone in party is that lag tonight is horrid, even

Just now I was unable to upload with Ymodem, three times (all bad blocks
and it crashed) and when sending my third or fourth email with pine
Id. so: call to undefined procedure _sipause from 0xef785528.
Now I have a bad participation file (all 413 items are new).
Is this related to the 'a: full cannot write' problem last night, in which
I could write emails of 8, then 5, then 3, then no lines?

Sindi, the bad participation file is very likely related to the "a: full"
problem. At some point you were in picospan, and it tried to rewrite the
participation file for that cf (which shows what you've read, when, etc.),
but couldn't because the disk was full. That leaves a trashed file.

I did fixseen and now no items are new. Yes, I was in agora when it would
not write responses. What is the undefined procedure, was that also related
to a: being full?

I'd like to make a small suggestion:
Instead of !w showing:
"../usr/local/bin/irc-2.8.2.."
Why not display:
"..Paying Members May Run irc".. ??
In this way, MAYBE we can slow down the dolts a bit..

Hmmm.... I once made a similar suggestion for another program on another
system. As I recall, it took some hacking, but I *think* they were mostly
successful: it requires changing what gets written into the process table,
and possibly elsewhere, when a program is run. (I was interested in hiding
the command line arguments.)

Just tried backing up my grex files with sz (as i've done a couple time a
month for years) and got an error message - "Sorry, only dial-up users can
use this program...won't work across a telnet connection...Grex's dial-up
phone number is +1-313-761-3000..."
Well, it's now +1-734-... now, but that's the number i'm dialed in to.

In my experience, the people who want to run irc on grex are *always*
looking for a free solution. Telling them only paying members can run
it isn't going to change their behavior.
There are almost brainless ways to change argv[0] that doesn't require
any process table hacking, but it just isn't worth it - all it does is
give the dolts one more reason to ship over their own irc source.
Better to save the effort and run the stock thing.

The PicoSpan help files relating to separators are useless; there
appears to be no reference to the actual definitions of the various
elements of a separator. Worse, the definitions of the default isep
and rsep cannot be displayed in PicoSpan! This used to work...

Why for do I get disconnected when trying to do anything without
the more pager? !ls -als without sending it thru |more disconnects
me. Trying to cat a file disconnects me. 9600 and 2400.

yep, I used to have spiffy color isep's and rsep's,
at some point a couple years ago all support seemed to
fade away.

DNS for grex has stopped working, so telnetting to grex by the usual
name "telnet grex.cyberspace.org" fails.
Telnetting to Grex by its IP number is a work-around.
(telnet 204.212.46.130)
Do not get attached to this number; it is supposed to change very
soon as part of the upgrade of the Internet connection to the DSL
technology.
