I dialed grex and got a few lines of garbage. Please keep working on the
modems.

Right, the modems are *still* not working. I have no way to access my
mail. Of course, if we had installed a real web-based mail system by
this time, which I campaigned for last year, this would not be a
problem.
Oh, well - step by step progress.

I'm using the real Grex web-based mail system now....via telnet (ssh).
Your machine probably supports it. Try it.

Re #158: Dunno. I'd hate to get into a situation where staff has
to run around killing bots manually.

I turned idled back on because when I tried to ssh in yesterday I didn't
get a pty and had to retry for about 10 minutes before I grabbed one as
someone logged out. I didn't want other people to go through the same
process, as we've already had enough frustration over service disruptions.

Some machines (at public libraries) do NOT provide telnet.
If you want web-based email, sign up with sdf for $1 lifetime membership, and
use squirrel mail there.

I don't know about public libraries, but at various sites I have visited and
used public computers, at some universities, I was able to download Putty
and ssh. Why don't libraries provide Putty (or equivalent)?
SSH *includes* the capability of web-based mail. I think you mean

If you want web-based email, I have 100 invites to Gmail that I can give
out. And when I've used them all up, I'll probably get 100 more. Let me
know if you want one.

And there are other webmail services which doesn't need invites.

You don't need an "invite" to obtain a gmail account. They'll
send the key as a text message to any cell phone.

For some, that test message costs money. I can give you an invite for free.

When I try to telnet to grex right now, it won't let me, saying:
telnetd: All network ports in use.
What is going on here?! (this response posted via the web)

I logged in at 13:07 via telnet with no problem. I must have been part

30+ minutes later telnet login succeeded. What happened to the telnet
queue? With nextgrex we're not supposed to be denied login with a "no
ports" condition, right?
