response 111 of 283: Mark Unseen   Oct 21 14:24 UTC 1997

I was having the same problem.  We suggested Audrey set the baud rate on
her com program to 19200, and that worked for her, but I haven't been
able to connect at all.  Things are certainly not as they should be.

We need to either (1) get Grex fixed so we can go back to using the
serial card, (2) get the modems configured so they work right on the
terminal server, or (3) get the 4/670 setup.

Re 111: You mean the 670 would be able to drive the ALM card so if it 
were up and running, we would be able to put all the modems back on the 
ALM card?

Would it be possible to put the ALM card into the 670 and use it as a 
terminal server even if it is not ready to be grex yet?

Er, I said would it be possible.  Of coursre I meant would it be easy.

I'm still unable to connect at 2400 bps.

  That's what I've been saying all along. No 2400, no evil computer
connections. Bummer.

Well, *I'm* connected at 2400 baud right now on a dialin.

At this point, it's looking more & more likely that the ALM-II card is
the culprit responsible for the large # of reboots we've seen recently
(esp. the "break/C" crashes).  So, I'd say that getting the modems to
work correctly with the terminal server is the only real option we have
left.

I'm going in this evening with an RS232 analyser, to try to nail the modem
config down.

OK, the modems ought to be much better now, after I found some very suspect
settings and had a guinea pig (thanks, dang) dial in repeatedly until the
connection worked properly. 

Of course, there's still the telnet queue problem... :(

a REAL guinea pig? i hope he has a login ;P

        Took me awh8ile to connect to 5041.  a number of enters and
a Control-C or three before getting the Grex time-tone-prompt.
        Are all modei up to 9600 now?

  I don't know what happened but I was able to connect my evil computer to
Grex at 2400. Thanks whoever fixed the modems.

(note: My evil computer is the 386. ) Once a Mac person, always a Mac person)

 All modems (currently 7) are at 14400.  I need to come up with correct 
settings for the older style ones before I can deploy those.

re 120: Jiffer, I was the guinea pig.  :)

response 126 of 283: Mark Unseen   Oct 22 21:33 UTC 1997

        Seems like logon or telnet que announcement should show up
very quickly.  Otherwise it just looks like more GREX down time.
Don't know if modem connected to a dead system or not.
        Don't know if I made my modem/procomm less verbose than it could
be.  Do some modems/tel-packages give English  "Connected" messages?
scott
response 127 of 283: Mark Unseen   Oct 22 21:43 UTC 1997

Working on that, tpryan.  Trouble is, there isn't much that can be done.

how long has grex.org been a sufficient entry for dns to allow connection?
i never knew so i have always used cyberspace.org

We added grex.org last March.

I was getting line noise out of 5041 earlier today

response 133 of 283: Mark Unseen   Oct 27 17:46 UTC 1997

Tried to telnet to grex a few minutes ago. After waiting in the
queue for a bit, received the login prompt. It took my id and
password, displayed the motd and a 'no mail' message, and then
dumped me back to the login prompt. Tried logging in again at
that point, with the same result. After a third try with the
same result, I gave up. (I'm using Backtalk now, which appears
to be working fine.)

Hmmm...now and then I get dumped back into a login prompt after logging
on. I always get on on the second login, though. What's is a core dump
file called (though I would probably recognize one if I saw one....).
