a modem in the 761-5041 chain is ringing open, as is one in the 761-0000,
could be the same one, i didn't have the phone numbers to check all of them.

Yes, one of our lines is dead.  Somebody is dealing with Ameritech about
getting it fixed, I think.

It is now out of the hunt group, so it shouldn't be ringing open. (It was the
last line, so it was in both)

As there is snow on the ground and it's still quite cold, I believe mud is
slightly slower than grex today.

I haven't been able to get a dial in port by dialing the 5041 prefix
recently.. it's always busy, even when it obviously shouldn't be.

That's possible, because I did get it to work in the morning.  Of course,
later in the morning, I had trouble getting it again.... when next to nobody
was dialing in (having checked the list in telnet).  That's probably what it
is.

why is it that talk on the grex doesnot work anymore? it was such an useful
tool in times of necessity. could bring people closer!!!

Well, some people don't paticularly want it back.  I understand that it's
being worked on, though.  Anyone know what's wrong with telnet?

<drift> I would like a `mesg` option to allow talk requests from people 
on computers OTHER than grex, however refuse the requests from people 
who are on Grex.  If somebody is on Grex, I would rather that they sent 
me a telegram, because the talk program monopolizes your telnet session.

That would be nice.  I never use talk anyway, htthere are better ways
ofcommunicating.

talks only useful if the receiving servers a fast one.

withn the last hour, two grex dialins answered, one to garbage, and
one to a blank screen.  nothing cured either situation. this session
is not a dialin.

Same problem as #15 within the last half hour.  But this session is a dial-
in, and seems perfect (so far...).

A few minutes ago I tried to dialin on 761-3000.  I got a steady tone
from a Grex modem instead of a matching attempt.  I redialed on 
761-4931 and got in normally.
        Also, why is the load average *over 20*?

My dialin problems might ahve to do something with the terminal I'm coimming
in from, and may need some recalibaration.  Right now I"m telnetted, seems
to be working okay.

We were off the Net for a bit, so the high load average was likely mail
catch-up.

really?  that's odd... after I got garbage, I reconfigured and got a clean
connection, didn't see my name on the users list.  was it this login?

I think raven had a similar problem.. I accidently dialed directly into his
login once

It was, as I recall.  Odd situation.

Regarding User Name:  Sure I eat tofu, but I don't brag about it.  (At least
I have numerous companions.).

The mail queue appears to be stuck again.  Are we close to reboot time
yet?

Grex's internet connection does not answer. A first, usually it's m-net's
that's hosed.

There seems to be a routing problem at our provider.

It has been fixed and broken twice by them (Actually the other way around,
as it works now) and hopefully will work now. 

Re 25: Wait a day.  The Tofu and Beef will go away.

  Probably you temporarily exhausted the supply of zerros left in the
  /dev/zero queue..  :-)

  Actualy, probably either a messed up /dev file or a shared lib problem.

I'm getting the "chopped-up responses" problem again.  I am on ttyh3.
I *think* this is the same modem that was doing this a couple months
ago.

naughty-naughty mcnally .................... tsk

Around 2:00 this afternoon I *tried* to log on.  Well, actually,
I dialed 761-3000, some modem connected, I saw part of the MOTD,
and then Grex hung up on me!

Hi.  I typed pine and got the normal pine screen for a moment.  Then it
printed out "Floating exception" and kicked me back out and gave me a UNIX
prompt.  I tried again, same thing happened.  Any ideas?

Use oldpine instead of pine.  The version of pine on grex was replaced
recently in case anyone doesn't know.

Re 36: I *think* he meant that he saw part of the MOTD without logging in,
if I'm reading it right.  Sounds like some lag in hanging up?
