Someone to whom I sent a binary file as an attachment reports that it arrived
(in 7-bit format) as part of the message body. This was a translation and
it has wasted quite a bit of time to figure out what went wrong and resend.
What might be happening? At other times the attachments have not arrived at
all.

Did you set the file transfer to binary?

Yes, I always send kermit -ir. It was coded base 64 and remained part of the
message body. Maybe his mail program goofed?

The modem on -3596 appears to be hosed. It connects, but it
will not transfer any data (it went down abruptly this
morning and is still not working).

The modem on 761-3596 is STILL hung; it connects but
never issues the "connection established" message.
The other modems are not equivalent; the one on 761-3000
transfers data at less than half speed.

Attempting to connect via ssh, I received an error I'd not seen before:
11:38pm jis8 $ ssh dcat@grex.org
Warning: Server lies about size of server public key: actual size is 767 bits
vs. announced 768.
Warning: This may be due to an old implementation of ssh.
The authenticity of host 'grex.org (216.93.104.34)' can't be established.
RSA1 key fingerprint is 74:4c:1e:86:04:2a:ac:ab:c2:cd:32:ff:19:76:80:fc.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added 'grex.org,216.93.104.34' (RSA1) to the list of
known hosts.
dcat@grex.org's password:
File Size Limit Exceeded
And with that I was dumped back to the system from which I was trying to
connect. On the second try I was able to connect normally, and was nowhere
near any "File Size Limit" -- I've little in $HOME, and no mail stored :
grex:11:39PM% du -hks ~
270 /c/d/c/dcat
grex:11:39PM% mailx
No mail for dcat
Is this another problem with the sshd, like the previously-reported 'size of
public key' error, or something else?

I couldn't dial in to Grex just now. The modem on 3000 answered, but never
connected me to grex or a login request.

Grex was down some today while STeve worked on the UPS.

Grex is not answering the phone. Even after Steve worked on the UPS
this Saturday.

STeve didn't finish the UPS. He needs 2 more batteries.

I get the "Server lies" bit off and on all the time. It's harmless, an
artifact of Grex's old version of SSH. The fingerprint issue should only
happen the very first time you connect to Grex from a new machine.

Are the batteries series or parallel connected?

resp:46 -- as I noted, I was aware of the 'size of public key' error; it
was the "File Size Limit Exceeded" error I didn't understand, and still don't.

Grex has been up (telnet, web, etc. okay) but not serving the dial-in
lines (CONNECT string is all you get) several times in the past day or
so.

As I write this, Grex has had a partial or complete modem outage
for ~24 hours, with no end (or diagnosis) in sight. The modems
answer, but "you can't get there from here".
Why the people running this show can't turn the modems off if they
aren't going to be allowed to work, I don't know.
Is this malign neglect, or merely gross negligence? Thanks for
cutting off (and disenfranchising) paying members! </sarcasm>

Gee, maybe we should make the staff take an unpaid leave of absence as a
punishment.

Fire those incompitent bastards!
I suspect STeve turned the modems off when he was working on the UPS; it's
what we used to do whenever Grex was down. These days it's possible to leave
a message on the terminal server, but I'm probably the only one who knows how
to do that.
I'll send mail about it.

I was at the pumpkin doing a reboot today, but since I didn't know the
modems were broken, I didn't try to fix them. I don't think I even have
a computer with a modem hooked up to it (wait - there might be one in
my laptop). I have no simple way to tell if Grex's modems are working.
I did power cycle the modems while I was rebooting Grex. I probably
should have power cycled the terminal server just on general principle.
If it was booted up before gryps, then it probably wouldn't have been
able to get it's updated firmware from the tftp server. That might
explain this behavior. I suppose I could take an hour to go back to
the pumpkin and do that, but I'm far from enthusiastic. I won't even
be able to tell if it worked.

STeve ewailed that it was his fault, and that he'd go fix it.

OK, so my iBook does have a modem. Does anyone know how to get a
communications program for it? I spent half an hour searching the web for
information, and didn't find anything useful.

What's the OS, Jan? If MacOS X, . . . oh. Yeah. We don't do PPP, do we? :(
Used to be, I'd recommend VersaTerm, but I don't know what to use nowadays.

I used to use ZTerm when I had a Mac. I don't know if it's OS X
compatible.

Ah, I found ZTerm for OS X. Seems to work. Now I'm sure I have a modem cable
around here someplace....

Any modular telephone cord will work. Just unplug the regular telephone, if
you like. ;)
