I have not been dropped while dialed in, but could not get to outside sites
last night. You may be dropped because your connection times out.
We have what appears to be a DSL modem at Kiwanis rummage sale, don't know
for sure and can't test it because we do not have a DSL line. I could loan
it to you for an indefinite period. You would probably want to test it on
someone's private line first.

I imagine it depends on what flavor of DSL Grex's provider uses. I
think there are several that aren't compatible with each other.

re #217: Yes, unfortunately DSL equipment isnt as standardized as
telephone modems (which adhere to various standards, such as V.92),
cable modems (DOCSIS), ethernet cards (IEEE 802.3), etc..
Well, actually, there *are* standards, but the problem is that there
are too many of them.. There are various line codings, authentication
schemes, etc, and so picking up a random DSL modem off the shelf and
expecting it to work with a certain provider's DSL service is chancy
at best unless you can talk to a knowledgable person at the provider
about which configuration choices to make on the modem..

I just saw a rather terse and unfriendly motd. Is this the new style?

Ain't it always been terse and unfriendly? ;-)

I dial in and have never been bumped, but I get a lot of freezeups when dialed
or telnetted.

Re #222: Looks like the MOTD just happens to be empty of any announcements
at the moment.

I'm coming in from the Web and several times I get timeouts when moving
from page to page, or it just hangs for a minute or two, or three.

I am running a procmail logfile and it reports what it did with each of my
mails and every few mails tells me: Extraneous local lockfile ignored. Lock
failure on (my mail directory)/keesan.lock. Is this relevant to the freezeups
or something I did wrong in my filter?

several sites mention that there is a firmware upgrade for the
Flowpoint/2200-12, although I haven't actually found the upgrade. It may be
worth a try.

I just did top and sendmail is using a lot of resources with a load average
of 24 or so. Motd from i (Walter) says that grex just got back online (while
I was doing top, apparently) which is slowing it down. Thanks Walter for the
info. Hi Mary et al. who just got here.
