Hmm... ft told me "response not entered." I wonder why that is?

Yeah, well, now it's time to brace ourselves for all the bugs...
Oops, Joe slipped in with one already.
There seems to be something about 'mesg' not being able find ttys.
The quota on /tmp is too low for some users to be able to read their
huge mailboxes.

Aside from a little personal config glitch it seems fine to me.
Congratulations, staff!

Wow, Backtalk is much, much faster now. Very nice.
Thank, Jan, for giving so much time to Grex.

Thank you for your hard work! Some of us were beginning to become cynical
mnetters. :)

We worked hard to get backtalk to perform acceptably on old slow
machines. The effect of all that optimization now that we are on a fast
machine is kind of impressive. One of the reasons I wanted a faster
machine, actually.

Picospan is also nearly instant and I had no trouble dialing in or sending
mail with pine.

Many, Many congratulations and thanks for getting NextGREX up, especially over
the Christmas period.
HOWEVER, I'm having trouble connecting to GREX from Linux. Using either
telnet, ssh, or PuTTY (with either telnet or ssh connections) fails miserably.
Using "telnet" "connects" me, but stops at the "Escape is..." line without
bringing up a prompt. Any other method produces diddly-squat. It's not the
firewall, as (a) using telnet, ssh, or PuTTY on a Windows VM under VMware
under Linux works fine, and (b) I switched the firewall off to make sure,
though it was pretty certain the firewall was not at fault since i had already
tested putty under Windows/VMWare.

Oh, yeah: switching from OpenSSH to (gnu?) ssh makes no difference, either.

Hmm... The "Escape is ..." line is offered by the telnet client, not by the
far end. What does traceroute show?

It still trying to trace a route after 23 hops, so far.

tracert on Windows/VMWare on Linux has no problem tracing the route. This is
SO weird.

I just telnetted here uneventfully from a NetBSD system. Logged in with no
problems at all.

Observation #1: Should the following text displayed at telnet login concern
me or not? That bit about plaintext and password made me wonder. But perhaps
telnet has always been that way:
OpenBSD/i386 (grex.cyberspace.org) (ttypc)
User not authenticated. Using plaintext username and password

Upon successful telnet login, where sh has been my shell for ages, I am shown
the following. It seems to imply something amiss:
sh: /a/a/l/albaugh/.profile[19]: /usr/ucb/tset: not found
