I can certainly detect the speed increase due to the extra memory. I'd
have been shocked if it failed to be noticeable, since 32MB is a
pitifully small amount of memory for a system running as much load as we
are.

Yeah, Grex now feels much more pleasant.

The problem may to some extent be at your end. I dial the
"advertised line" a lot (I'm connected that way now), and it
doesn't usually happen to me. When it does, sending BREAK
characters fixes it - I usually have to send only one or two
BREAK's to get a readable login prompt.

I'd love to know what is happening. But it doesn't happen to me with any of
the computers/modems I dial in with and I don't know squat about what TS uses.
I thought the "byebyebaby" screen was especially artistic.

It happenes to me occasionally when I dial in from home, but that terminal
won't even hang up my modem, so something is wrong on my end at least.
However, busying out that line allows me to dial in.

TS, grex lags bad enough without you dumping those screens...
you could have emailed that garbage to staff without forcing
everyone else to read it.

3000 is working fine for me now, but I was getting some garbage last night.
My settings are fine, though.

I usually have to dial -3000 about 5 times to get a good connection, but the
problem I generally see is a very short (3-25 characters) burst of high-bit-
set ASCII garbage (then no response) or a session that freezes before getting
all the way to the login prompt. Once into the .profile, etc. stuff, I
VERY seldom have any problems. Sending BREAK doesn't seem to do any good;
I'm not confident that none of the fault is my modem's.

i have expurgated #177, but you *can* see it if you want s'nifty
graphics.
valerie said it was causing some ppl's terminals to, ummm, uhhhh......
go bonkers (?). nothing like that happened to mine so i didn;'t
consider it a problem. however, since it is , it is expurgated.
as for the specific problem, the breaks (long, short, longer, any)
generate 'more of the same.'
i strongly (!) suspect that IF the actual -3000 modem is busy (and
this connection is on tty h7 after having dialed -3000) the connection
works ok.
(tty h4 is busy at the time of this login)
lots of good discussion at tnight's board meeting.

On 761-3000, I tend to get a good connection about half the time. The other
half it's usually just a blank screen. This is usually with a USR Sportster
28.8 modem, but occasionally with an Acer 33.6 modem as well. I'm not sure
if I've seen it with my IBM PCMCIA (People Can't Memorize Computer Industry
Acronyms) modem or not.
I'm using Hyperterminal (mostly because I'm too lazy to download a real
terminal program), so I cna't send breaks and don't know whether that will
help or not.

The last 3 times I've been on, things have seemed fine (if sometimes a bit
slow - better now) - and then Grex just stopped responding. I finally gave
up & disconnected (at least one was over the internet, at least one was a
dialin). Didn't have time to call back & see whether Grex was up if I tried
again. Modem did *not* disconnect all by itself ... but since dialins are
now apparently telnets from groovy, that may not prove Grex didn't completely
crash any more.

Interesting...Agora hasnt been telling me lately how many newresponses
I have to read. Mybookmark is still in place and there are always
new messages to read but Agora isnt telling me how many. The other
confs I read are fine.n It is only Agora that wont give4 me a
status report on how many nitems/responses I have to read.

I haven't encountered the problem that TS is having on the -3000
lines -- I can just about always get connected, get a login
prompt, and get sensible-looking output from Grex.
When I leave my modem in "smart" mode -- error correction and
data compression turned on -- most of the time I still have the
buffering problem I mentioned earlier: When Grex pauses for
input, the last one or two characters of output aren't displayed
until I actually type something. Does anybody else experience
this problem?
If I dumb down my modem a bit by turning off error correction
and data compression, and set both the modem and serial port to
talk at 2400 baud, things generally work fine.
Also, things work fine when I'm connected at 14.4 through
groupie.

I got the garbled modem stuff again and I persisted in sending more breaks
than I had in the past, and lo and behold, the junk magically cleared into
a login prompt. :)

just a question... about the modei... weren't we all told that the old
2400 (beaten to death but still merry) supra modei on the -3000 queue had
been replaced with the newer/faster/better/v.XXX stuff and now we could
forget about dumbing down our -3000 calls?
it should be noted, actually, that when #117 was entered (GASP!!!) it was
entered not only from -3000, but also tty h4! (aren't intermittants such
fun<G>)
this particular connnection at the moment is a -3000 dial ending up
on tty h9, with all v.xxxx working fine. oh, well.

Yes, the assertion was made that we didn't have to dumb down
anymore. Doesn't seem to work reliably, though.

Last night around 1am I twice got a modem answer on the fast number for the
first time in ages, but in both cases no "real" connection was established,
as after the modem-to-modem chit-chat ended, my dialer kept counting seconds,
and there was no "CONNECTED 9600" or whatever message. Then I tried the slow
number, and the first connection at 2400 did not result in a grex session.
At this point my fast modem is totally useless for contacting grex. :-(

For some reason picospan is ignoring the spaces between responses.
Everything's sandwiched in.
