Okay it's been a real long time since I tried to use Grex's e-mail, but
here's a problem I had the last time I did.
I telneted in and used elm, and it worked fine. Another time I did the
same, worked just fine. All other times it has told me that there is
something wrong with my terminal type. I have changed absolutely
nothing about my computer.

A few times lately, I've gotten sessions that could not be given a tty (next
time, I should copy the error report exactly, eh?). These sessions don't
have a good terminal, so the standard stuff I use (vi, less) doesn't work.
I logout and try again later. I wonder if that is what the folks above,
like Bjorn, are seeing?

vidar says he's telnetting in. The "failed to allocate pty" message
is generally what you get when you try to ssh in when the telnet queue
is full: different problems.

And you expected me to remember when I was using ssh and when I was using
telnet? Silly you. ;)
But thanks for explaining the cause of the error. :)

Grex just disconnected me without warning, again. Modem? Idle zapper gone
amok?

Re #20: IE is a crummy browser used by Microsoft as it's primary weapon in
a number of repulsive monoplistic campaigns. Unfortunately, the main
competition against IE is Netscape Navigator/Communicator which are much
crummier. The hope for the free world rests on Opera and Mozilla as far
as I can tell.

No, on Lynx! Lynx is much better are removing the advertising matter.

Lynx is for those who either cannot, or refuse to enjoy the world wide
web as it is designed to be experienced.
Using a nice little utility called Webfree
(http://www.falken.net/webfree/), I experience just about as much or as
little advertising online as I choose, without sacrificing the ability to
enjoy the multisensory world of the web.

Lynx fills the screen with words - all the same size and color - as opposed
to using other browsers with graphics turned off. But some sites are written
to be confusing unless used with graphics (and tables) so I do sometimes have
to use a graphical browser just to be able to make sense of the site. Lynx
for DOS or UNIX on your own computer lets you see all the graphics (one at
a time). I have not got it working with sound but there seems to be a way
to listen to midi files with it.

I've got nothing against Lynx, SIndi, but if the hope of the free world
rests on it, I'm afraid we're doomed.

Hm, Webfree seems to be available only for the Macintosh. Are there
similar products for Linux and Windows?

For Windows, I recommend WebWasher. www.webwasher.com It's free for
personal use.
But this isn't really a Grex System Problem. ;>

Grex appears to be refusing incoming telnet connections. I am currently
connected via ssh.

I also have been bounced out of ssh sessions twice within the past ten
minutes. I find this activity suspicious.

Telnet from the terminal server seems OK, and I haven't had any ssh problems.
Maybe a network issue between Carson and Grex?

Perhaps, but the problem would have existed between Chinet and Grex
as well as Northern's student Unix machine (longyear.acs.nmu.edu) and
Grex.
Connections directly from my machine seem fine.
