Right, I had the same problem - 761-3000 hung on me, but 761-5041 worked
fine.

Me too. I'm guessing the modem on 761-3000 is flaky.

I thought the modems were on a hunt sequence.

The problem with the modems continues.
Yesterday I checked out whether the inability to download a file of more than
12 packets with Kermit was related to my modem or to something at grex by
downloading 30 packets at m-net without crashing. So something is wrong with
either the grex modems (or most of them, once in a while it works) or with
the Kermit installation at grex, another reason to replace the modems soon
with the nice faster ones that Dang found a Property Disposition.

(That's rather different from a modem that answers but won't connect you to
the termserver.)

The home page for Grex indicates a continuing tie in an election to the
board of directors of Cyberspace Communications. My understanding is the
tie described has since been resolved.

Today I noticed something strange:
polytarp ttyp0 8:28pm 1 32 w
newuser ttyp0 5:13pm 1 32 w
I don't have any idea what's happening.

I've reprogrammed the bulk of the modems (couldn't get to the ones in use when
I was doing it.) Any problems lately? Dialup has been working fine for me
the last couple of days.

Re #75: You mean you don't just kick users off when they're in your

Was Grex down for quite a while yesterday? Dialin got the message from the
termserver & then hung up. Telnet in simply got connection refused.

I was online and got the message from woot@grex.cyberspace.org that grex was
'sicxk' and was immediately going offline, I think it was mid-evening.
Today lynx will not access any sites but the grex home page on lynx -
presumably grex is not connected to the world except by phone.

the motd says it was something to do with the mail. I guess grex is
vulnerable to being attacked via someone setting up a .forward file
and forwarding some giant mailing list through here, or something

Is it possible to customize the colors in backtalk? Whenever I used to
read Agora using the pistachio interface, it used to have a very nice
color scheme. Then, today, for no apparent reason, the background color
changed to a kind of weird pale green that totally clashes with the
green color of the buttons and it is icky. I want to change the
background color back to the nice muted yellow it was before. Can I do
that?

The mail forwarding was an unlucky combination of spam & anti-spam
duelling it out, with grex's mqueue being the battle ground. People
regularly set up giant mailing lists and forward them through grex, and
we delete them almost as regularly when we notice them -- usually
network lag gives them away. Lynx breaking is because I had to reboot
the machine the web proxy was running on, in order to get grex running
again, and didn't know that the web proxy doesn't (or didn't)
automatically restart. I understand it's fixed now, and it's not really
related to the e-mail fit, it was just there lurking to strike when
least expected, and I walked into it. I'm not sure why other ran out of
filespace; doesn't seem to be shortage just now and certainly /etc/motd
isn't that big.

Re 83: Oops, I installed a new version of Backtalk today and didn't copy
over all the Grex configurations. I'll fix it.

I think that's right. I put the board officers in the MOTD. I'm currently
in group staff, though, which is why I could do that.
