I'm receiving a mailflood at my domain because someone's Windoze box sent
out a virus to large numbers of people with a forged header indicating it
came from a nonexistent address at my domain.

Katie, I'm very sorry. That is nasty news indeed and a horrible way
to receive it. I agree you should have been told sooner, much sooner.

Sure hope the DVD burner for my nerw computer comes in today. Can't install
any software without it, and no other CD drives lying around.

Regarding sleep apnea - I have read that it is most common in overweight men
and if you raise the head of your bed (or sleep on a lot of pillows) or don't
sleep on your back that should help. So should losing weight.

I don't think Mormons use alcohol or tobacco. The same things are bad for
lots of other diseases including acid indigestion.

IVVBB the people who access Grex by modem are apparently not
important enough to rate a check to see that the modems are
working before someone leaves the Pumpkin. (Obviously nobody
checked, otherwise we would have seen some kind of notice as
to what's wrong and when it might be fixed... right? Right?)

maybe grex should get rid of the dial-in modems altogether. I mean are
they really necessary anymore? I suspect that most anyone who dials in
now has other internet access and is doing it purely as a matter of
convenience or old habit. they could either be eliminated altogether
to save money or reduced to one or two, and priviledge to dial in to
grex could become a member only perk. it is a reasonable thing to
consider if there isn't a whole lot of staff presence and the modems
are falling into disrepair as claimed in previous response by russ

re 247 + 248: Or, how about a CPAP? Or is it not the type of sleep apnea
that that helps?
My dad was diagnosed with sleep apnea when I was 10. If you're in need of
jokes about it, we've got a few. ;)

IVBB it seems that some people don't seem to understand that Grex staff are
volunteers, and do this in their loving spare time... which for some is not
much. For shame on you unappreciating people.

And a corollary to that, which I'm sure would be argued if not mentioned,
is that Grex cannot guarantee the quality or consistency of the services
it provides, which is why we do not sell our services per se.

It might be nice if we had a way to dial out from the pumpkin. But that would
at most confirm that one modem was working.

Is there a way to monitor the connections the terminal server is making,
perhaps via a screen on that machine?

IBB some folks want to use the "Bummed" item to solve grex's various problems.

The terminal server does not have a screen.

Re #243: Sometimes I think our mail server at work spends more time
sending bounce messages than actual mail.
Re #251: <sarcasm>IVBB the half-dozen people who refuse to use Internet
connections they apparently have anyway to reach Grex expect Grex to
spend lots of money supporting dial-in lines for their use.</sarcasm>

It takes three paid members to support a phone line. This frees up the
internet connection for use by people who prefer to use that.

IABB the song-parody items are proliferating. I'd prefer one item I don't
have time to read to a half-dozen (and growing). :(
