David: I would guess that your problem is that one of your breaks or some
other control code is getting prepended to your login. (You can't see control
codes. They arn't displayed) So, I would suggest hitting enter at the first
login prompt, rather than entering the userid, and entering the userid at the
second prompt, and then coming back here and reporting the outcome. I'd
guess that the problem is with your terminal's break, rather than Grex.
(Maybe... :)

Dave, hit a bunch of backsapces before you first log in--that will
clear whatver cruft is in the input buffer, making it impossible for
you to first log in.

The problem that you're seeing here is that as your modem and Grex's modem
are negotiating the connection, some line noise gets passed along to Grex,
which Grex sees as the first part of what you type into athe login prompt.
It happens to me probably half the time when I use use the dial up modems
(which I don't do very often).

OK, thanx! I would never have thought of backspacing *before* logging
in...
Also, about an hour ago I got a *new* error: Grex took
my loginid, but when I hit a <return> to bring up the password
prompt, Grex hung and I hung up.
BTW, why don't I get similar line-noise-prepending with
M-Net?

I am having a problem with "ping". Sometimes I can ping from
Grex by typing "!ping blahblah" and everything is fine. At other
times (such as a few minutes ago), I am curtly informed
Can't execute "ping"! What's the story here? Is ping being
permitted and de-permitted at pseudo-random?

Or you're getting added/removed to/from the internet group at pseudo-random...

Soryy, my smily ( :) ) was on a new line, and so got interpreted as a
command, and I'd already sent an EOF... Consider the previous response
smilied.

Hmm... Looks like ping is permitted only to root & staff. (I forget
why we did that.) If Dave was able to execute it recently, it must
have been changed recently. Dunno why.

I'm telnetting to Grex from ITD (UM) via Compuserve from Florida. I get
full vt100 emulation on ITD, but no reverse video or arrow keys here. I
also cannot connect directly to Grex via Compuserve.

I'm also telnetted from ITD at this moment (via dialup to UM) and everything
is fine for me. Merely data.

Someone entered an item in coop saying that ttyh4 was consistently giving him
upper case mode. It will probably be discussed more there, but I figured I'd
mention it, for people who read system problems but not co-oop.

Rane's problems undoubtedly started with his compuserve telnet client, not
anything at ITD. Telnet propagates your terminal type to each system. If it
is not good to start with, it can be a problem. I wonder what terminal type
ITD thinks you have when you telnet into there from Compuserve, Rane.

It turns out ITD doesn't know my terminal type wither...its a Compuserve
shortcoming. I am not using their latest software. I guess I will just have
to deal with having no working arrow keys.

Re #41: Nope, you don't need terminal emulation to use vi. When
run in 'open' mode you can even use it on hardcopy terminals.

I am having an irractic problem with menumore ... it seems to be skipping an
awful lot of text. This has happened the past 4 times I have logged on, so
I doubt it is a problem with any one modem and, though I can't be sure, but
this has happened on two different terminals so I don';t think it's anything
I've done or am doing. Help!

Ping is a program on most internet connected computers that takes as an
argument the address (either domain or IP) of a system, and sends that system
packets of data, to which that system is supposed to respond. That way, you
can know if a remote system (or your connection to the internet) is up and
responding to incoming internet. Make sense?

It's a sonar like method for probing the depths of a distributed TCP/IP
network. (You ping copmuters to see if they are alive, and how "far away"
they are in milliseconds.)

Then you shout, "Damn the torpedoes, ramming speed!!", and attempt to shove
a 2.3MB Mpeg through a 14.4 at T-1 speeds.

(In other words, tell ping to increase the the packet size a lot, and
aim them at a slower machine/person on the internet.) This is really a
problem for a lot of people on irc, and I wish there was a way to trace
ICMP packets (as well as everything else that goes on over a network) in
Windows 95.... Sigh--Win95's DUN doesn't use raw sockets, so I don't
even think it is possible.
