Jim is trying to figure out why the neighbor, who we are trying to get to join
grex, does not get anything but a 'screen that freezes up'. He programmed
it to wait only sixty seconds. Does the internet connection not working have
something to do with it taking a few minutes to connect to grex?

There are a total of three of us on grex at the moment, the other two are not
accepting messages. I thought they might like to know the number.
Do we really need 14 phone lines? My neighbor may soon be the fourth.
Best of luck to staff in figuring out the problem, and thanks.

Grex is, indeed, off the net.

Hey, I'm one of those dial-in only users. Only one on now--
see last item.

When I tried to send e-mail, it refused (to some place out of state?).
When my neighbor finally got on grex and sent mail to EMU, it said
it was sent. Where did it go? Why did mine not go?

Again, only one logged in on dial-ins. It's taking a few minutes
toget the login prompt instead of a few seconds. I can see many giving
up, thinking whole system is down. I did give up earlier tonight and
went and caught up on M-net.

Ditto on the several minutes wait. Something must have to time out before
Grex agrees to open a connection.

Grex is off the Net. The router at the other end of our Internet connection
isn't seeing its ISDN line. I've been waiting to hear from the person whose
apartment it is in about whether it is unplugged before I call Ameritech, but
I should porbably go ahead and call Ameritech at this point.
I'm also working on the several minutes to log in problem. I expect to have
it fixed shortly.

Ok, it's an ugly fix, but the delay on dialing up is gone.

I've called Ameritech to report the problem with the line. They're supposed
to test it and call me back sometime soon.
Given the weather, I'm guessing this is a wet cable problem, but there are
any number of things it could be.

4 hours later, there are still only 4 users on - all local, of course.
(jdeigert, remmers, other, & me - hey, Sindi, don't you folks ever sleep?)
Steve, we really appreciate your working on this stuff all night. Pity the
net link is still down ...

This feels like the Grex of six years ago, before we even *had*
an internet connection. What a nostalgia rush!

Use Item 113 to tell us what Grex was like before the internet connection.

The name server should be working for stuff that it is authoritative for, but
not for anything that it needs to talk to the outside world about.
I just called Ameritech back since I hadn't heard back from them. They are
promising to have it fixed by 6 pm Saturday, but they say it may be sooner.
I'm in the middle of some other stuff, and didn't have time to try to track
things down sooner.

Thank you. That answers my question.
Also why you and I are the only ones on Grex at this moment, steve.

(But Grex was never this fast before the internet connection.)

It's now past the promised 6:00 p.m. Internet line restoration time.
Any idea when the darlings at Ameritech are going to get around to us?

They're still telling me it's in the central office being tested. I can't
get ahold of a supervisor there this time of night, and the person I talked
to on the phone said she couldn't get ahold of the people at the central
office this time of night. I need to do some serious screaming at them in
the morning.
