The network was way bogged down, partially due to a vandal trying to flood
another system.

I lost grex telnet connectivity around 6:30pm Tue 9/26, and backtalk couldn't
grex either. I'm dialing in now, 12:15am Wed 9/27.

Backtalk seems to be running really slowly this morning. It's not
timing out, but it's taking much longer than usual.

Lately I've been experiencing long delays between the time my telnet
program reports connecting to Grex and the time the login prompt shows
up, even when there's no queue..

I've noticed that delay, too.

I've been getting that delay on the dial-up server. This morning
I got disconnected by that thing instead of Grex proper. Some message
about My Host don't know cyberspace.org or something like that.

Grex's named wasn't running, for some reason.

While running pine today, I got the following error message:
ld.so: call to undefined procedure _sigpause from 0xef785528
Unsurprisingly, pine crashed.

I have gotten this message a few times, after a long delay when I tried to
send mail.

After entering logout at the shell prompt, one gets another login
prompt. Responding exit sometimes logs out, and sometimes produces
yet another login prompt. I have not detected evident cause of sometimes
getting a second chance to login again, and sometimes not. Is there
method to the madness?

Try "stty 9600" *BEFORE* connecting to grex.

It surprises me how sometimes people who appear to be so totally
rational can get stuck making some pretty silly assumptions about the
world. Computers are not magical. Computers do not have ESP. Just
because you *think* "stty 9600" won't make a difference to telnet,
because you're not using a serial connection, doesn't mean squat to
those little electrons flying around in your computer, or in grex. The
true essence of science is *not* just logic, but *also* to experiment
with an open mind. So, if you want to solve this problem, discard your
prejudices, try this, and see if it makes a difference.

The system has frozen and then dumped me 6 times in the last two days. What
is the problem here?

It just did that to me too. It appeared to be some sort of network problem,
although I didn't manage to get a traceroute going until after it had come
back.

And it just did it again. As far as I can tell, I'm getting bumped off every
time I start a response criticizing Ralph Nader. Once again, it was back up
by the time my traceroute got that far.

Well, after I said in #35 that logging out didn't always work on the first
attempt, Marcus said in #36 to "stty 9600", but since that doesn't affect
telnetting, I stated that in #37, so I don't know why Marcus said "And?"
in #38.

Are you certain it doesn't affect telnet? Telnet clients can do some weird
things at times, and looking for a certain baud rate might be one of them.

FWIW, I use <CTRL>D at the login: prompt; it always goes away promptly.

Actually, in reviewing the above, I do have a clarification: my response
#36 was actually prompted by #34. I suspect #35 had slipped in, and #37
confused me into thinking it was in response to #36 and not a separate
problem.
Re #41,#42,#43 - I think there's a problem with the last hop to grex.
Or, at least, the one time I was able to try things with tracroute
before the connection came back, I found low RTTs to
eth3-0.rback0.flnt.mi.voyager.net, followed by lots of packet drops &
occasional 800 ms RTTs to cyberspacecomm.flnt.mi.voyager.net, and almost
no connectivity to grex itself. Probably what I should be doing is
"traceroute -n" while the trouble is happening, so that traceroute won't
have to wait for the name server...

I suspected you had slipped in, but I thought I'd see what transpired if
I went along as though it applied to my comment...... It did go off
into an unexpected direction. What *does* 9600 baud have to do with
a telnet connection?
