I suppose a more honest variation would be "You can catch up on M-Net
while you're waiting for a login prompt!"

Again, I'd like to know why in Backtalk my Item List is being seperated
between Favorites and regular msgs. even though I have those options
turned off.

Thank you to whoever fixed the telnet problem. I was so astonished to get
in immediately that I tried to give my password as my login.

I think the reboots associated with backing up the disks solved the problem.
We'll see, now that the back-up is finished, won't we?

How strange. I don't suppose anyone knows what caused it in the first
place but the 79 second delay does seem to be gone..

I am dialing into grex and connecting almost immediately, but now when I
telnet to another shell account, it is freezing up repeatedly for 2 min or
so at a time, and then for 5 min (I hung up and redialed). I think I prefer
the 79-sec wait to connect, rather than having to wait 5x2min while answering
an email.

I have been experiencing the same thing (which is not surprising, since
Sindi and I are on now at the same time). I have had three freezes of
several minutes duration during the past 20 minutes.

Grex is off the net - I'm the only one on, and I dialed in.

Besides Grex being off the net now, I was also unable to connect
via the net at times late Friday evening and Saturday morning; I was
startled to find that net connections worked around midnight Saturday.

Reviewing the party log, it appears that Grex was on the net from
about 3 pm to 6:30 pm today. Sorry I missed it! It's down again
now, I'm dialed in directly.
(*sigh*)

Grex is up, the DSL is (was) hosed. It should be better now.

Thanks Joe.
What kind of DSL modem does Grex need? If I have the right type and we get
a wireless router here, I may consider donating my wired one.

We've already accepted one donation of a replacement modem. We just haven't
been able to flash its memory to a more recent (and more suitable to our
application) version of its software. I don't think another donation
will help right now. :(
But thank you for the offer.

OK, no worries. The offer was made on the understanding that you couldn't get
the memory flashed, but if that's not the issue, even better.

Are you saying it can't be flashed or that staff just hasn't done it?

re #25: Perhaps if you could tell us what features are necessary
someone could provide an already-working modem properly configured.

re #28
The modem is hardware the Grex ISP recommends. It just needs a flash from
IDSL to SDSL (which I'm fairly certain can be done via the serial port and
a laptop.) I'd be glad to flash it if someone wants to send it back.
