Strange. I see that the buttons do have text alternatives.
I wonder if there was something funny in my
browser config that prevented me from seeing them.
Did anyone else see text alternatives to buttons that day?

No, I never see text. I use Netscape with the Pistachio interface.

just a couple of minutes ago, my immediately previous login, i was
in mail doing stuff and dumping about 100K of defunct emails.
i was editingthe header ( ~h ) and at the Subject: line, everything
froze solid. thnking taht something was absorbing cpu, i issued
enough keyboard commands to finish the header editing, finish the
email, send teh thing, preserve that specific email, and quit mail
to effect the 100K worth of deletions.
then i went outside and walked around the block anticipating that
the commands would be processed 'in due time.'
got back home and was stone-frozen at the same place. modem was
still conected .....issued a few breaks signals, saw nothing
happening nad thoght grex crashed.
did a cleanhangup and dialed back to see what was up.
connected fine, same port - ttyhc - and after a few seconds, the
newmail process ( i think ) popped Mail to..... on the screen with
' no subjet specified' (i had data in the subject field, really)
and the 100K of deletions were lost.
i *am* glad the email got sent (we'll see if the to: field editing
worked), ticked that i still have to dump the same 100K ...again,
adn wondered just what could make that happen that way?

this is getting ridiculous.
after the high speed lines were diverted into a 50+ waiting queue, i
started useing the slow lines. ok, so you know aobut those problems.
recentley it was annouced thatthe phones were reverted to the
previous arrangement, so right after i logged in, i ran phones and
found that -5041 was now/again the first hs line. so... exited grex
and slected my -5041 dialer (which had been updated to 8n1) nad
which had been working fine .... until just a few
seconds ago.....

Valerie, the modems are working fine for you and me and several other people.
"Everyone else" is a pretty strong statement.
Is anyone out there having trouble similar to TS's when connecting to grex's
modems?

I used to, but I haven't experienced any problems since the modem pool
reverted to normal. Then again, I'm using 5041 most of the time, too, and
that never gives me trouble.

My terminal software only goes to 9600 baud, so I have it set
the modem to 9600 instead of defalt 14.4k. When modem, terminal
emulator and answering modem are all thinking alike, they behave.

There seems to be a problem of the fast lines getting stuck off-hook with
nobody connected. However, I haven't been able to catch it at the Pumpkin
lately. It seems to be causing a lot of busy signals, though, and has
apparentlt held up a modem for as much as a day sometimes. Ick.

I usually need to send a couple breaks before I get an intelligible
dialin connection. That might just be grex's modem assuming a
lower connect rate than I'm trying, and thus I need to cycle on
to the right one...dunno.

Where I've seen stuff like what TS posted - *not* with Grex - is
(occasionally) when contacting an ISP's modem with a 2400 bps modem.
The ISP's modem is presumably expecting something else ...

I had some trouble connecting to 3000 earlier this morning, but no noise.
I even got a false connection (!?) with 5041 before I redialed for my current
connection.

btw, just for reference, after the modem pool reverted -3000 & -3411
have been ZERO troouble.....from this pov it *looked* like whatever
was on -3000 got moved to -5041.
and for further reference, just so you know, this setup has changed ONLY
with the 8n1 improvement ....over teh past TWO YEARS... and there
are several b0xes and several soource phone lines involved.
on NO other b0x and at NO other time have i experienced screensfull of
that 'style.'
the modem is a 14.4 v.42/mnp5 &&& faxmodem, if you wnated to know
and it *even* has tsty on a little sticker on it.<g>.
valarie adn janc are welcome to stop by asd watch teh process. the
trouble was *constant* on the -3000/-3411 numbrs and the recent
'splash screen' has happened only twice. on the hs speed lines.
i'm not at all certain that this *recent* demonstration is repeatable
the way the -3000 was. hey,. i'm on a 9600 cnnection at this moment
adn ti's simply wonderful!

Different filesystems. Picospan was trying to write some file and there was
no free disk left to use.
Looks like someone's freed up a *little* space now.
(/a is where everyone's home directories are, BTW.)

Well, yes, they're different disk system. Seems familiar.

But yes, it's the same error, but for the home directory partition, rather
than the logfile partition.

I'm having trouble reading the conferences with Backtalk today. It loads part
of the agora item list, but hangs up before I get the whole lst.

I have not been able to telnet in today, but when I make a terminal connection
I see that there are users on line. Is anyone else having a problem telnetting
to grex?
