Grex is sending me text (pine, bbs) in chunks of approximately 2.5 lines each
with waits in between. Not the usual delay where you see a few letters
appear, then a wait, then a few words. Modem problem? I dialed to 5041.

Is "lag" a System Problem?

Not necessarily. Traffic on any of the computers through which you
connect from yours to Grex's can cause lag. Only if can be identified as
originating on Grex can we do anything about it. Run !uptime and see if
the load averages are really high. That would be an indicator.

There's more to lag than just the number of processes in the run queue;
if the system seems consistently slower than it usually is for you at the
same time of day, it might not be a bad idea to do a traceroute and see if
the tail end looks funny.

(Assuming you know how and can do a traceroute from your desktop to grex.
The tools are available for both Mac and Windows.)

ugh-hum ... nroff also ?
#30 of 46: by TS Taylor (tsty) on Wed, Mar 27, 2002 (16:32):
aside from teraterm, i have noticed a situation that may or
may not be a problem, but it's surely a nuisance.
when i nroff a file, the resultant file has 30 or more blank
lines appended to the text. (no, they weren't in the original, smartie)
this action has been consistant - is this a feature, bug, or user error?

Traceroute is about the only good tool at a user level that I can
think of, but it's still hard to interpret; not explaining everything
provides a sort of filter.

resp:27 it's set to ANSI emulation. Is tterm23 freeware or shareware?

I believe that it's ttermp23 and that it's freeware.

Correct on both counts, Dave. (I use it in combination with ttssh, a freeware
SSH add-on for it.)

I'll have to look them up, I guess.. could you maybe provide some good
download site links (preferrably ones that explain features,
comparative advantages, etc.)?

Is it possible to block mail from webboss@daum.net? I have received
several unsolicited e-mails from that address, and the link that would
allegedly unsubscribe appears to be broken. I also suspect that nearly
every user on Grex also has received unsolicited e-mail from this source,
as it has been addressed to
Wall.Street.Stockwatch.valued.users@grex.cyberspace.org

Send such mail to "uce@cyberspace.org".

I have. Twice. Possibly more. My understanding is that the "uce"
account is checked irregularly, which would not address the present
situation.

Marcus, the total accumulation of spam I have received in the last
couplefew weeks has been forwarded to uce@cyberspace.org, with full
headers.
This amount has drastically increased over that of the last several
years, and I would very much appreciate it if you would make updating the
Grex spam filter a current priority. I know it takes a big chunk of time
to go through the junk and do this, but it is a pet project of yours...
I'm giving serious consideration to the idea of having baff/board aliased
to my upstageleft address and changing my .forward to /dev/null ...

You'd need to write a procmail script, I think.

What other is talking about is sending all "other@cyberspace.org" mail into
/dev/null, not parsing it.
