Yesterday, grex said that I had a bad participation file when I entered aora.
Now it says that I have 190 brandnew items. It's as if I never read anything
in this conference at all. Is there any way to fix that?

Yes - type "fixseen" at the "Ok:" prompt (if you're using Picospan and
not Backtalk). Then, to read responses new in the last day, type
"read since -1".
This problem occurs whenever Picospan tries to update your conference
participation file at a time when the disk is full. The /a disk filled
up yesterday afternoon. My participation file got zapped too.

Thanks remmers, that seems to have fixed the problem.

Hmm.... owing to the full drive, would it be worth it to back up my
participation file (say, every time I log in or something)? Are they the .cf
files?

yes, but only if you back them up off grex. otherwise, you are just
contributing to the problem...

I dialed in on -3000 a few minutes ago and was peaceably reading
my mail when I was disconnected. When I logged in again, here is
what the System said:
Last login: Thu Sep 9 10:46:06 on ttyqd from 204.212.46.132
I have been *repeatedly* disconnected for the past several weeks.
This is very disconcerting. Does anyone have any idea why
this is happening? Are others having this problem?

I was just disconnected *again*! When I re-connected, I was told:
Last login: Thu Sep 9 10:55:01 on ttyu7 from 204.212.46.132
Do we have a bad modem/set of modems?

I haven't had any problems in a while. Have you tried from a different
location (ie not your own phone line)?

Not strictly a system problem, but an amusing error message during the
daily queue:

re120: Are you sure it isn't the 9/9/99 bug?

One of the modems at or below -3554 in the trunk hunt is ringing open.

does this look okay?:
16 waiting, 64 remote + 3 local users; 72 max remote users; 4951 head
...2 of 17; 67 users
...2 of 17; 66 users
...2 of 16; 65 users
IT's not that I had to wait a long time to get onto Grex, but I read it
as eight less people should be waiting to get on (72 max remote - 64 remote)

I've experienced what Dave has mentioned. It seems to come and go, but
last week there were many times I would suddenly get the dreaded NO
CARRIER message. Since I do live on the same side of town as Dave, I
wonder if it isn't related to the horrible phone lines, perhaps
exacerbated by the increased amount of phone work that takes place this
time of year. If this is true, though, our problems should decrease, as my
Ameritech friend says most of the installment "rush" is over.

I've had some troubles getting randomly disconnected as well. <shrugs>
Generally happens to me in party though.

Since I also M-Net from the same computer/phone line, and *never*
have random disconnections on M-Net, I'm sure that this is a Grex
problem, not a phone line problem.

It could just be that your brand of modem doesn't like our brand of
modem. Kind of like cats and dogs.

I've also been disconnected a number of times the last few weeks.
It seems to happen more often in conferences if I hold down the space
bar a couple seconds to page through an item. Have also seen it happen
in Lynx.

Odd. I seem to have entered three identical items in this .cf. I
entered the first, and then attempted to add updated info and was
'disconnected' which with an autodial reconnect seems to instead
resulted in the three separate but identical postings. I wonder if it
is a 9/9/99 sort of thingy (outside of grex)? I also could not get a
connection for some time to any of my local POPs (getting an 'unable to
dial' intercept) and finally it resorted to dialing the toll free 800
number which in fact worked which I was then connected to even though
now I think I am back on my local POP?!?!

Trying 204.212.46.130...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
Same with grex.org & cyberspace.org - and we're now down to 10 users..
Annon was on mnet and typed to me of this problem - he was totally
incapable of reaching grex. What gives?

I get 'Connection refused' using telnet, too...I'm currently connected via
ssh, which is working just fine. Wow, Grex gets fast with only 9 users
connected...

while in party, perhaps a dozen or more times in the
past week.

I was unable to get in on the *dialins* this morning around 9:30,
so it wasn't just a telnet problem.
