I've also been disconnected a number of times the last few weeks.
It seems to happen more often in conferences if I hold down the space
bar a couple seconds to page through an item. Have also seen it happen
in Lynx.

Odd. I seem to have entered three identical items in this .cf. I
entered the first, and then attempted to add updated info and was
'disconnected' which with an autodial reconnect seems to instead
resulted in the three separate but identical postings. I wonder if it
is a 9/9/99 sort of thingy (outside of grex)? I also could not get a
connection for some time to any of my local POPs (getting an 'unable to
dial' intercept) and finally it resorted to dialing the toll free 800
number which in fact worked which I was then connected to even though
now I think I am back on my local POP?!?!

Trying 204.212.46.130...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
Same with grex.org & cyberspace.org - and we're now down to 10 users..
Annon was on mnet and typed to me of this problem - he was totally
incapable of reaching grex. What gives?

I get 'Connection refused' using telnet, too...I'm currently connected via
ssh, which is working just fine. Wow, Grex gets fast with only 9 users
connected...

phones: I also have been getting disco'd, typically
while in party, perhaps a dozen or more times in the
past week.

I was unable to get in on the *dialins* this morning around 9:30,
so it wasn't just a telnet problem.

I'm getting a mysterious error when I read some e-mail.
The apostrophe (') is replaced with "m-^R". Does anyone know
what is causing this? Is there any way to set my e-mail so
that this doesn't happen? Thanx.

When you connect on the dial-ins, you dial into a terminal server, which then
automatically telnets you over to Grex. The only way to access Grex without
telnetting is on the console (or via ssh). I'm guessing inetd probably
died, and somebody probably restarted it, but I don't know for sure.

Re resp:137 - It looks like you're getting email messages from
folks who put 8-bit characters in them, but that something
along the line is substituting a symbolic code for such characters.
It's not clear to me whether it's something on Grex or something
in your local setup. You might try putting the line
PAGER='more -r'
in your .mailrc file and seeing if that makes a difference.

Couldn't dial in this afternoon. Grex starts up, tells me about
birthdays and mail, then asks for login again...and again...
telnetted in to post this. Same problem with -3000 and -5041.

I was disconnected *again* twice within just the past few minutes.
Is any staff person working to track down the reason for these
repeated disconnects? At least I can see from the reports of
others that it's not just me...

That's funny. I haven't had any disconnects that I know of in over a month.
I'm often on for a long time, but I also use *70 as a dial-in prefix because
of my call-waiting feature. Maybe it protects me against random line noise
too?

No disconnects, but the systems 'hangs' for minutes at a time, now and then.

I have routed around a floky terminal server report. But disconnects are by
no means a universal problem. I haven't been disconnected in ages, myself.
Maybe we are getting more line noise than usual. An error correcting modem
link would appear to "hang" while riding out a burst of noise.

Two unrelated things: Someone tried to log in as me Mon night.
loginid 'patti' has been logged on for over 24 hrs.
Dunno if either of these things is a problem.

I have some things-seem-to-hang-while-the-modems-deal-with-line-noise
problems on about a third of my calls to grex; disconnects are somewhat
less frequent. Reading of a failed login attempt or two when i log in
is routine.

Earlier today I tried several times to log in, but all I got was
garbage. I could however, type my login, and then password and it
would show me the MOTD but the letters were all replaced with odd
characters.

A useful piece of information for those being disconnected is the area code
and first three digits of the phone number you're dialing from. It would be
interesting if we could tie it to a particular Ameritech switch. That sort
of trunking problem doesn't seem nearly as likely going between two Ameritech
switches as it is when dealing with multiple phone companies, but it could
still be there. What kind of modem you're using would also be interesting
information.

I've noticed that a mis-typed password results in a 'failed login' report
when I finally get it right.
