I'm getting the message
    Bad parameters near ""
when I enter Fall Agora.  Then I don't get the conference banner 
until I issue an "r" command.

So am I actually....

That just happened to me, too.

I got it also. Probably just a 'feature'.

I have reason to believe that this "feature" is a conspiricy perpetrated
by beings of another world.  I believe they want to distract us with the
so called "feature" in order to take over Grex, and eventually the planet.
They MUST be stopped at all costs!

I always knew valerie seemed a little strange... :)

Make that Ultra-Strength Concentrated Strange (tm).  Sizism is not PC.

Grex is really slow on dialin, but that's just a RAM thing, methinks

Why is it that we never hear about the effects of the benificent aliens?

(Probably the media's fault.)

(I'm a beneficient alien, I just don't like to advertise it)

Arf! Arf!

I love it when this item degenerates in to silliness. It means the 
system is running nicely.

Someome go break something so we can get back on topic.

Actually, not so weird.  I need to reprogam the first 2 modems on 3000 to be
error-correcting, but haven't done so yet.

I actually tend to jump for joy when I *don't* get line noise from
modems on -3000.  Of course, I've been doing so quite a bit lately...

 time for me to fix that, I guess.

i don't get line noise, i just frequently get a failutre of the modems to
match speeds, even after repeated attempts and term resets and interrupts,
etc...

Ok, backtalk looks nice. It certainly edits nice, yes!
But, whenever I ask for the "itemlist" at Agora it takes hours to get there,
and I never know which items I'm in by heart, and reading all items would be
a tad bit too much for me to deal with.
next to that there doesn0t seem to be some sort of "menu" option like the
classic BBS has. Or am I severely mistaken here?

When I log in, I get this:

0: Event not found.

and portions of my .login and .cshrc are not run.  For example, I don't get
a path, but I do get my prompt.  (Path is in .login, prompt is in .cshrc)
Yet, I don't get my alias file sourced (in .cshrc) I really haven't 
changed anything (Yeah, that's what they all say, but I haven't changed
anything on my account in over a year) If I source .login and .cshrc by 
hand, everything works fine.  Anyone know what's up?  (I use tcsh, and 
have never had a single problem in the past)

Oops.  I did add that alias.  I thought I had it right. (Okay, so I *did*
change something!)  (The .login, I didn't change anything. Probably saved it
with a different number of spaces.  I changed tabwidths and stuff.)

OK, ttyh5, which was not set for error-correcting, is now set for
error-correcting.

I got an endless ring on -3000 a few minutes ago, but got right in
on -4931.

I had a similar problem this morning on 4931 and 5041.  I would get
"connected" by never get a login prompt.  The second time I tried, I walked
away from the screen for 7 minutes and came back to find Deja News on the
screen??????

Anyway, after dialing in just fine on 3000, I came back and was able to get
on with 5041

something strange happened to me when i logged on... i got to the end waiting
for it to give me the  > prompt.... but instead i got the loggin prompt again!
This is the second time it has happened... i telnetted in...

Re #24:  The itemlist page will be slow in large conferences (since it needs
to read the header of every itemlist in the conference).  Not much I can do
about that, but the next release of Backtalk (which I've been working on for
the last few days) should be noticably faster.

What sort of "menu" are you looking for?

shanks Valerie... now i must harm Irving for convinceing me to switch to
tsch.... back to normalicy!

Just now I (again) got an endless ring on -3000 and got right in
