Has the "more" program been changed recently? It no longer works on multiple
files - only the last one is more'd. What should happen is that if there are
multiple files in the file spec, each one is preceded by its name, and more
pauses at the end of each file. At least that's how it works on other UNIX
systems. I thought it worked that way on grex too. Anyone know what's up?
The current more is pretty useless, worse than cat... :-(

Jan, is there some appropriate forum for talking about Backtalk issues?
I haven't seen anything in the conferences I read, but I'd be willing to
add another conference to my list. From time to time I have ideas,
which I'd be happy to post somewhere. In the past I've e-mailed you and
srw, or (more often) forgotten them.

(I think the Backtalk conference is fairly appropriate. I asked a
question there once, and received an answer. it's also fairly low
traffic, from what I could tell.)

This time I got into Pine okay, including the inbox, but two times out of
three as soon as I hit Ctl-X to send a message, I was disconnected. ANd the
other tiem (second of three) I was only allowed to write three lines and then
got the message a:/write failed, file system is full. I noticed that I had
20 messages (most just arrived). Could that be creating a problem? When I
try to answer them I get dumped. Or is the April fools programming spilling
over into odd places?

Where have all the flowers gone? Make that three times out of four, this time
was when I pressed y to continued an interruped composed message. Do I have
to delete all my messages before answering them?

This time I was reading and deleting messages, and in the middle of reading
the third one, I got disconnected. If this is a joke, please desist.

This time I got disconnected as soon as I hit C for compose, and I am down
to 9 messagesin the mail file, but one of them is 14 K and binary. WOuld this
cause all these problems? It was working earlier with the same file there.

I got what seemed to be very bad line noise calling -3000 earlier (the
connection died before i could log in). No problem calling back.

Grex's net connection is experiencing really bad packet loss. It stinks.
We hope this will get fixed soon, but it probably isn't anything with our
equipment.

I was going to say. Much better on a dialin. Is the mail getting in and
out?

Pine is working perfectly now, I think. But who, after listing the first
five or six names, disconnected me. I logged on again and tried who again
after a half hour, and the same thing happened. From the grex prompt.
Is there some way to reread the first half of the login screen, which is extra
long today? If not, could the newer information be put at the end?
I already knew about the t-shirts, but the ISDN stuff went by too fast.

Pine is working, but with something broken in the ISDN link, and packets
being dropped, mail transmission would involve a lot of repeats, which
might cause problems. Logged in now on a dialin everything seems hunky-dory,
but it was pretty bad when connected from the net. I was unable to do much
as things hung, and then I got timed out.

I've been on the phone with Ameritech several times today about they problem.
They're still working on it. At the moment, the line seems to be generating
one CRC error every minute or so, which is much better than it was, but still
not good. We should not be getting any CRC errors.

I dialed in on 5041 three times getting the "it may take a few minutes for
a connection" then within 10 seconds, getting disconnected. The fourth time
I tried I used 3000 and have had no problems.

One of the terminal server ports was configured to try to connect to the wrong
place. It's fixed.

With the new terminal server and current crop of modems, there is no
longer any point of dialing -5041 when things are working correctly.
You should be able to connect at any speed up to 14,400 on any dial in
number.

Just dialed into -3000, connection okay for a few minutes, then a couple
~10 second "no key echo" pauses, then a longer one (when i noticed my
modem signaling "not receiving good carrier/retraining"), then disconnected.
