Suppose the net connection, terminal server, and dial-in lines are up
but grex itself is down. How hard would it be for the
machine hosting status.grex.org to tell the terminal server to give the
same status info to dial in users that it's giving via the web page?

So will there be an index.html file at www.status.cyberspace.org to
hold the info?

You can visit the following site:
http://grexstatus.nether.net/
If grex staff insert cname records for status.cyberspace.org & status.grex.org
and www.status.*.org -> that site, it can be updated.

Grex is currently disconnecting users who telnet or dial into
the system immediateley after someone connects to it.
Example:
atdt 7613000
CONNECT 14400/ARQ/V32/LAPM
Welcome to Grex! It may take a few seconds to connect.

(Mike, we *have* had a lot of rain lately. In March we were in drought mode,
and now we're ahead of average on annual rainfall)

(re #55: [cross-item response drift?] I'm not saying you haven't had
a lot of rain, I just think that it's ironic that since I've moved to
Seattle it's been dry and clear here and Ann Arbor has had enough rain
to provoke ark jokes..)

It was drizzly and misty the whole time I was in Seattle a few weeks ago, but
that was for less than 24 hours.
I haven't seen any rain since getting to California.

They seem to drive really slowly on the highway no matter what, at least by
Michigan standards.

....it's been so rainy in Ann Arbor, that folk singers are lining
up two by two on main street.

For the last 2 days, I've not been able to dial in to Grex. For some reason
my computer and/or software think that Grex is not answering, or if it does
answer, I get a disconnect fairly quickly. Annoying. Any clues? (No, I
haven't done anything with my own software or computer, though I will admit
I have only tried dialing in from one computer. I usually dial in from three
different ones, so I have an idea if it is site specific).

I know I should have entered this when Grex came up after the net
outage, but I dodn't have time, sigh.
It took almost 5 hours for Grex to get back to normal after it
came back on the net, due to the mailstorm we had after being off
the air for about 2.5 days. Grex was busy doing nothing but processing
mail, and at one point I saw 836 sendmails running. A little later
possibly even more sendmail processes were running, and we ran out
of swap space so some were dying. At that point I tried killing
everything that wasn't needed to do mail and it still took more than
an hour to catch up.
So, when Grex has been down for a bit, always remember that it
needs a few hours to play catchup with mail.

Im wondering if foreplay would help catchup on the mail?

Ok, happened again: dial-in no problem all day yesterday; this morning my
software keeps saying No Answer. Now I know that Grex is answering: I hear
the rings, I heare the ringing stop, I hear my computer send out it's forlorn
ET signals calling home. But Grex drops the ball.

And just now, Grex dropped my telnet connection. I was dialed in to UM,
telnetted to Grex. UM connection stayed up, Grex died.

Over the past few months, I've been thrown
off grex telnet connections dozens
of times. Welcome to the party.
Also some telnets to grex just hang
before login, due to some stray telnet ray.
I just fire off antoher telnet and
it takes it.

Ref: #69
Katie, The fore play Im refering to is a unix command. Your bios looks at
the task in front of it, Then makes a decision on wether or not to
reconfigure your 3 1/2 inch floppy and double its capacity enabeling it
to perform as a 7 inch hard drive. Im not a computer guy but I do know that
if we look closely, we can learn from them.[D[D[D

I don't dial in as much as I used to, since I've now got telnet from work and
such. So as modem czar I don't tend to notice problems as quick.
Still, I'm dialed in now with no problems. I've dialed in a couple times in
the last day or two just to if there are any obvious problems, but it's been
fine for me.
I used 761-3000.

Scott, thanks for looking. Have you tried a dial in during some
of the busier times...where several lines may be in use?
