the lab machines in the library (which are lab machines that happen to be in
the library, not library machines that happen to be in a lab, i.e., ITD deals
with them and libstaff don't know a thing about them (what, me, former UGL
staff?)) run Windows XP and Mac OS X(.2, i *think*), as do all other ITD labs
on campus.
most library workstations run OS X, but some may be stuck on OS 9.
i've never had a problem ssh'ing to grex from Pitt's unix server.

Don't always remember to.
Another annoying thing. I use Dos telnet to telnet into grex from
home. When I read agora, at the beginning of each item it
says "Warning: Terminal cannot scroll back Press <Return>". This
started happenning recently. I must have changes something, but I'm
not sure what.

Re #246: Haven't tested others. It's a really irritating problem, but it's
a paging problem, so Tod's probably right.

Re #244 - not being able to telnet directly to Grex from Florida: I should
have mentioned that I have also been unable to telnet directly to some of
the CAEN servers of the form xxxxx.engin.umich.edu or to
login.itd.umich.edu. I am on now by telneting to xxxx = login but xxxx =
maize or blue do not work. Yesterday xxxx = login would not work but =
maize would. blue hasn't worked since I've been here.Does this information
suggest anything about the cause of the problem?

It sounds more and more like a routing problem from the Florida end, Rane.

I'm back now and my one-week account in Florida is history, so I won't
be able to follow up on this. But at least I was able to connect, even
if not directly. (It's is nice being back on a fast machine with a 56K
modem now....)

"A Fast machine with a 56K modem"? Wow, that really puts things into
perspective. I'm on 56K right now, and it sure as hell doesn't feel
fast. Although that might havew something to do with the fact that the
ISP keeps disconnecting me this morning. I don't have any leverage
over the choice of ISP here, but anyone in or cdoming to the UK take
note; Freeserve might just as well be Crap-no-serve.

Grex seems super fast this morning. Is this the new grex? My automated login
and password script could not keep up and somehow my password got entered
instead of my login (which I know is backwards from how a fast grex should
behave). I have been unable to get mail from a mail list because grex accepts
it too slowly and it all bounces - should I try signing up for a fifth time
now? Even Pine was fast this morning.

No, we are not on new hardware. I don't know why it might be faster than
usual this morning.

Re #232: I looked on CAEN for info on Telnet being discontinued, but
didn't find it. Where is there more information?
I found and installed MacSSH on this (Mac G4) machine and could ssh to
a CAEN server, but not to Grex. I presume this is the problem that
cmcgee referred to. Is there some configuration that should work?

Does MacSSH have an option to choose what SSH protocol to use? Grex
only supports protocol version 1, and some programs default to version 2.

MacSSH only supports SSH2. The FAQ on the website datails
this. NiftyTelnet 1.1 SSH r3 supports only SSH1. Google
for the download link. NiftyTelnet is also mirored all
over the net.

MacSSH also supports rlogin, rsh, rexec, and raw TCP: any of those
protocols compatible with Grex?

re: 267 yes. I can get here with SSH, but then get turned away because of
something funny about the Grex version.

The voters command is broken. (Unlike the members command, it does
not understand about continuation lines in the group file.)

It's probably the same script as the 'member' command which was recently
removed. Thank you for reporting the problem.
