This time I dialed and it rang and eventually hung up, but when I dialed again
it rang four times and then connected. Maybe one modem is still turned off?

I've been getting that alot....where it dials, and then partial connects, then
hangs up, but I get through on the second try fine.

There's a couple new bad lines. Must remember to call... must remember to
call.

I did some rewiring last time I was in the pumpkin so that I can turn off all
modems with one switch, so they are either all off or all on. I think I'm
the only staff member who turns the modems off while working on things. It's
bad enough spending six hours in that little room without having modems
beeping and blatting at you as people fail to connect. The dark side is that
sometimes I forget to power them all back on when I leave, but I've been good
lately.

I really should make it easier to set the modem motd, since it's much more
informative than open ringing.

I haven't been able to dial in or telnet in all day. (When I dial in,
the terminal server answers, but apparently can't connect to Grex,
because it hangs up after a few seconds.)
Also, the MySQL daemon is apparently down.

I think our install of mysql is definately broken. Maybe I'll try to
see if PostgreSQL works any better on this system.

Grex stopped hanging up on us some time early Thursday evening and this
morning connected and stayed connected on the first try.
Thanks for whoever fixed the problem.

It did work last night, but right now I can't dial in or telnet in.
Same problem as described in #32. I think this is what it looks like
when the telnet deamon dies?

inetd had died a couple times in the last day, causing the telnet/modem
problems.

I am afraid there is still a problem, as of about 10:30 this morning.
I dialed in, got the "It may take a few seconds to connect" message,
then Grex hung up. I dialed again; same story. Now I am (obviously)
on the system, but I have no idea what will happen if I log off
and then try to log on again.
This same situation happened yesterday, 7/19. When I couldn't
dial in, I logged onto M-Net and tried to telnet to Grex. Connection
refused by Grex.
I really hope this new problem can be fixed! Thanx for
everyone's efforts.

Oop! One more problem. While I was on a few minutes ago,
I tried to lynx out - to yahoo, hardly a problem site. Grex
said it was looking up www.yahoo.com, and then nothing.
It hung.

It was after noon today that the dial-in problem was fixed.
At the moment Grex seems to be cut off from the rest of the world; a
traceroute from my PC got into some kind of loop at Voyager.

Grex is refusing new connections, though existing connections are still
OK. inetd needs a kick?

I'm not sure if this is a system problem, but someone attempted
to break into my account from cinci.rr.com.

Re #44: Do you know anyone in Cincinati who would want to break into your
account?

Or it might just be that someone incorrectly typed their account name. I know
I occasionally enter "dave" by accident - either forgetting where I'm logging
in, or just being too quick with that Enter key. (This probably would not
apply if you are seeing a lot of failed attempts in a short time.)

(I dunno; I don't often confuse my loginid, but I may forget which password
works with it. Or otherwise fumble-finger the pw a half-dozen times before
getting it right. So if I *did* confuse my loginid with someone else's,
I could easily be responsible for lots of attempts in a very short time.
