Despite Jim's protestations (he insiststhat he has the same problems on
several computers/modems atseveral phone lines) I switched to a laptop with
2400 modem, same phonel ine, and have not had any problems (other than the
unfamiliar keyboard). Answered several days' worth of e-mail. No disconnect.

No problems for maybe an hour how, with either pine or bbs, except when I
moved the laptop and the phone cord probably came loose. Redialed fine.
So either it is a bad modem in the other computer, or a line that only works
probably at 2400 bps. Have been catching up on a week's e-mail.

Even if *you* care enough to make it your personal crusade, what makes
you think the rest of are interested in hearing about every copy of
eggdrop and every stuck pty you discover on the system? If it's some
desperate need for attention, can't you find some more constructive way
to indulge it?

Well, it does have the effect of making staffers tend to take you less
seriously.
Hint: If you send a tel in the middle of an eggdrop compile, the message will
most likely be lost in a mass of compile status messages.

I sent the tel while it was at a shell prompt, idling.
As far as the rest.. <shrug> This is the "problem" item, so I
posted it. I'm suprised I was able to.. Normally my partfile
gets waxed by this sorta' shit.
It's right, however: obviously ports/users idle for hours and days
are neither a "system problem" nor of concern.
Feel free to simply FW on-in and whack these posts: I won't bother
any more.

I could not get onto 761-3000 this noon, nor yesterday afternoon
(yes after 2pm) or evening. It connected then dropped or did not answer
the phone at all. Same with 761-5041 last night.
Sindi, even though I have a 14.4kbaud modem, as does grex, I get
a lot less greif when I slow down to 9600 to agree with the procomm
settings (and probably the computer transfer rates).

Thanks Tim, but my 14.4 modem at the apartment is working just fine. You can
set Procomm to 14.4, ask Jim how. It is definitely a bad modem at Jim's end
and/or noisy phone line at higher speeds.

It took several tries last night for me to get on also. I'd get a busy, a
hangup, a busy, a no answer, a hang, a hang, a hangup...then I finally got
in.

i do periodically have line noise problems, and i suspect that anyone who does
not have the proper software and modem settings would have much greater
difficulty if they are subject to the same. usually it is not immediately
apparent to me that line noise is the problem because of the way my software
handles progress reporting. (i connect using an automated process, so i don't
see a terminal window, but i'm also making a ppp connection to umich rather
than dialing in directly to grex.)

During the backup I did a very basic noise check on all the lines. They all
seemed fine, but of course a proper check would require a longer test period.

i suspect my noise is local, and might be due to the long lines i have strung
from the wall jack to the computer. even though it is a phonenet network
line, it is unshielded and i live in the "kool 107 only" zone, where wkql is
the only station on the radio dial above 92, so rf interference is a likely
issue.

Go to the hardware store, buy a big nut or washer, and thread the wire through
that a few times. Should cut down absorbed RF.

Someone tried to get into my account twice (or so it said on login)
but it didn't give a complete IP. Here's what it gave: 171.217.121..
AOL?

re#62
you can go down to rat shack and buy a snap-on ferite core, it should cost
only $2-3. what scott is talking about works on the same concept but is less
efficent due to the permibility of the core material.

I did use mail, for an hour, without problems. I then typed pine and it
disconnected, on the computer that was not disconnecting during bbs.
What would cause this same problem on two computers with two different
modems on the same phoneline? First three times I tried to use pine
it got part waythrough a reply before disconnecting. Are some commands
in pine somehow interacting with a noisy phone line and/or both modems?
How does one include the e-mail being replied to with Mail?

It really sounds like some kind of pine config problem. You aren't using
Control-D anywhere, are you?

I am using the same Pine on my apartment computer, no problems. Only major
difference is the phone line (and three modems are now involved).
I know Ctl-D can cause problems. All I did one time was type pine. The other
times I was replying to email with pine.
