I'd just like to say I've been booted off four times in the last half hour.
The interruptions have been too short to get a good trace on, though. The
odd thing is they don't seem long enough to make me time out, but I get
booted anyway.

I was gonig to rant about getting thrown six times in five minutes, and then
I remembered something: I don't contribute. I'm a layabout. This is free. I
get what I get. =}

Yeah, but Grex is paying for this so-called service.

I did some traceroutes during network pauses last night, and it seemed
like the problem was with 209.153.129.86
(hssi1-0.rtr2.flnt.mi.voyager.net). Oddly enough, as I wrote this, I
did one last traceroute, and there was another network pause as packets
looped at this very same host. Perhaps it's crashing and restarting
multiple times per hour?

Right now other people in party are complaining about having their
telnet sessions interrupted -- most visibly grexmom -- but my connection
through Michnet has been stable. Perhaps people who are reporting
telnet disconnects should mention what ISP they are using.
I was getting telnet disconnects a lot from tir.com several hours back.

I always use Backtalk during the day- and I've been getting a 'Socket
Error' message frequently, but if I hit back and 'next item' it
generally works... related?

I doubt it's the router where the traceroutes stop that's having the problem.
More likely something closer to us is either dropping the connection or having
some other problem that causes the route in Voyager's network to go away, thus
causing the traceroutes to die at Voyager's border. If it were their border
router crashing it woudln't come back up quite that fast, probably would fail
over to some other path instead, and would certainly be noticed by somebody
over there. As it is, if it's a problem affecting just Grex's circuit, and
nobody has called them to tell them about it, they're not likely to notice
and it will stay broken until somebody reports it.
So, once again, could some staff person in Ann Arbor, who is in a position
to deal with this if it turns out to need a telco dispatch or some such,
please call Voyager and report the problem. Voyager will be able to diagnose
this far better than a bunch of people sitting on Grex and speculating from
traceroute data.

well, I'm not dialing in. I'm on a T3 at work (umich hosp) so it's not
something I can just call them up about. I'm trying again today, but we'll
see. This isn't the first time these problems have happened to me. Just
yesterday was the first time I posted them.

The connection dropping problem has nothing to do with anybody's individual
connection. It's a matter of Grex's DSL circuit having a problem. Nobody
not on the Grex staff should do anything about this, but somebody on the Grex
staff should.

It was virtually unusable last night. It took me four tries to check my
email. I'm dialing in to dig through agora.

Telnet connections to Grex seem stable today, at least no one in
party has been complaining about being cut off.

Since a stable, trouble-free connection has never existed for me when
Grexing, I find that tucking a 'set autosave' in my .cfonce cuts down on
the problems of connecting back. The only item I see twice without new
responses is the one I was reading when I lost my link.
I beleive that this increases the load, so people with stable connections
should probably not use it.

I am always invited to login: again whenever I log out (dialin). This gives
me a chance to change logins and read jdeigert's mail to him.

That's what I was writing about. But when I enter "exit" at that
login prompt, about half the time I'm logged out and the rest of the
time I get another login prompt. That's what I'm trying to learn
whether it is normal or a problem (somewhere).

You can avoid getting the second login prompt entirely by putting a
/------------\
| stty hupcl |
\------------/
line in your .login file.

Be sure to keep the "/-----------\" and "\---------/" lines --
they're the most important part.. ;-p

What's that do (behind the scenes)? I'd still like the first login
prompt that follows logging out.

(I was being facetious about the /-----\ stuff, of course..
the "stty hupcl" sets the HangUP behavior for the pty..)

Right, it causes Grex to break th connection to your computer as soon as you
log out. I guess that's not what you want.

I rebooted the DSL router, although I'm not sure if that did it since I was
on my way somewhere and couldn't watch the link status.

would this be a problem with my participation file? I cant even
forget items, because it never remembers to forget them...
