Missing the last line of items is often a symptom that the number of
rows on your terminal is not the same as the system thinks it is.
What terminal type are you set to? (echo $TERM)
This line is for the line-eater (oh, that takes me back...).

Intermittently there occurs some sort of condition where (a) Pine does
not function, and (b) attempts to enter even a single character into a BBS
response result in a "Core dumped" error message. It's not happening now, but
did happen last night and another previous time.

I think I fixed kermit. Try it; if it doesn't work send a message to staff,
please.

Pine no longer complains about permissions. In my home director I find no
pine debug files but there are three '0' length pinerc-numbered files (1 of
3, etc) from June 20 which I presume I can delete. Kermit worked for
telnetting to sdf, thanks Joe. I will try exec /usr/bin/login (is this
different from /usr/bin/login?) and if it works make an alias. But ssh worked
okay to change accounts.

exec /usr/bin/login, logged in as jdeigert, exit > NO CARRIER.
I don't think I will bother trying without the exec. ssh works.
There are still two unread 'new items' in homme that cannot be read or
fixseen'ed.

I cannot fixseen, read, or even 'b n' without getting the messages 'bad item
file header' for 'homme' - will have to actually read the items.

I forgot I CANNOT read the items so I have no idea what numbers they are.
Perhaps I can delete something in my home directory if nobody else has the
problem (a conference file).

I deleted two files starting in .homme which made no difference so the problem
may be elsewhere than my home directory.

I just went to the homme conference again (after getting that bad item file
header message) and this time it was only 1 brand new item and this time I
could also read it so the problem appears to be local not global and is
fixed.

I noticed that one of the item files in /bbs/homme was owned differently than
the others, so I changed it to match.

Thanks, Joe, you must have done that before I tried homme again.
Everything is working for me now, how boring. Grex did hang up on me once
but that is not new.

Hmmm, I may not be seeing a missing last line now. But anyway, as instructed:
$ echo $TERM
vt100
$ stty -a
speed 9600 baud; 24 rows; 80 columns;
Looks pretty standard to me...

I have noticed that login no longer accepts ssh1 (ssh2 now OK - this is
just an observation).

!more .cfonce
# here is where you can put PicoSpan customization
define pager more
And under nextgrex, as I mentioned, my "more" prompt says "byte xxx".
Also note that when I run mail under nextgrex, and do a reply, when I
use ~p to "print" what my reply is going to look like, it doesn't seem
to honor a pager setting as it did under old grex.

What do you want your "more" prompt to say?
Is the mail problem actually with the program "mail", or another mailreader?

Okay, thanks for the question on which pager I was using. It's the
subtle things that get you on a system change, it seems. Since more is
essentially the same as less now and I had "define pager more" before I
made it "define page 'less -R -E'" now and that seems to have fixed the
ANSI escape problem I was having with bbs.

Charcat please mail me again if you want me to send you a test mail because
after I removed grex and cyberspace from my white list, procmail sent your
mail to /dev/null. I have to figure out where I am overdoing the spam filter
(and why it let through 0ffer on the subject line). I just sent you a mail
- did you get it? (6:35 pm Friday).

In terms of the homme cf fix, it's still giving me a bad item number
error in bbs and only the first 19 items shown when browsing (though one
can read others beyond 19 by directly referring to them). ft has the
same issue, it just doesn't say anything about a bad item number.

ebay no longer works with lynx. I cannot sign in. Links won't sign in either
- tells me 'no route to host'. With w3m I get a screen telling me to enable
cookies or use the latest IE or Netscape. Can w3m actually handle cookies?
Did something change at the grex end? Ebay actually looks a bit different.
