I connected to ttyh7 a bit earlier. Very slow, and has what looks like
netlag.

Thanx for the explanation about the mail situation, Steve! Has M-Net's
mail gone from Grex now?

The staffer could bbs from the console. Taking httpd down would be a bother
at such times. The point is not to make staff bend over backwards all the
time. They are volunteers. THanks staff.

I think I should point out that the telnet line is getting ridiculously long
at times. The problem is worse in the early morning (6:00-8:00) and getting
increasingly better toward noon. I've been in lines of up to *60* and it's
taken 45 minutes to an hour to get on. Some people have times limits on their
internet access, and by the time they wade through this line, their times
limits up! I dunno what can be done but it should be looked into.

Do you have any suggestions at all? Besides a faster machine (which
would probably make the problem *worse*, since more people would seek
to get on), the problem seems to be one of behavior modification. If
the users on the system stayed on a much shorter timne, the waiting
to get on would be reduced (though more people would then try to get
on.....). Then, the system could use a lottery approach, dropping users
from the queue at random, hence shortening it..... B^{

You could use backtalk, if you just want to read the confs.

Well total anihilation of the telnet queue would be abit rash, but I really
can't think of too much. The lottery thing would tend to tick some people off
I think. I dunno, I guess I might just have to live with it.

It used to be that we couldhave "send us money" as a standard response to
complaints about being too slow. Now, while money is still needed, we
actually do have faster hardware than we are using, but our staffers are all
employed. That's good for those of us on staff, I guess, but means that
people haven't had all that much time to do Grex stuff lately.

Last night (early this morning) I was abruptly dumped from a net
connection. I dialed in, and received the message that Grex had been shut
down for mail processing. I would *really* appreciate a reasonable
warning, so I can wrap up activities that might get scrambled by a dump.
Thanks.

I was reading a bbs, when the line
"You have more mail"
appeared on my screen. But when I ran pine there was no mail in my inbox.
I've only seen the "You have mail" when I've left messages in the inbox when
I closed pine, and "You have new mail" when I've gotten new messages while
I was in bbs. I've never seen "more mail".
Is this just a glitch, or some Unix quirk I'm not aware of. It didn't have
any telegram stuff around it either.

telnet is really REALLY slow...right now. Twice I telnetted in and got to
the passwrod prompt, but ws lefthanging and timed out. Pretty agggratvating
when you have tcome all the way from number 31 in the waiting list. Now that
I am no telnet, it is REALLY slow..to the point that I read one of my confs
via backtalk because backtalk is faster at the moment (and since backtalk is
at itsusual pace, thats really saying something!)

I'm not getting dumped to the login prompt, but three times today I have
dialed in, gotten the first two tones from the modem, and then my whole
computer has frozen.
The last time that happened it was 11:22 by my clock. At the moment it is
11:39 by that clock.
Nothing has changed from my end.

re #271: this just happened to me. I just logged in again, and it seems to
be working ok now.
