Shortly after the previous message, about two minutes after joining party,
i got the following:
Party Process Killed.
zsh: 16042 terminated ( mesg -h n; /usr/local/bin/party; mesg -h y )
When I tried to rejoin party, i got a message from PuTTY about my connection
having been killed.

You're making ssh connections, right? At some point today Grex was out
of ttys for what reason I know not. Under such circumstances ssh will
connect you without a tty. This really stinks, as lots of stuff doesn't
work right, like backspace keys. This may have something to do with #117.
If you were connected without a tty, then robocop would have eventually
killed your processes, as it dislikes all user processes not associated
with a tty....yup, I just checked the log...robocop killed you.

I also dial into grex about half the time (I find dial up is faster than my
internet connection) but my mother's computer can only use dial up

This may not be a system problem, but for some odd reason, Backtalk has
the font size set so big that it's hard to read responses.

2125 hours, dialing -3596:
"Welcome to Grex! It may take a few seconds to connect."
[1 minute 40 seconds later]
NO CARRIER
Same story on -3000 a few minutes later. I'm assuming Grex was down.

re 122 Wow, when will you know if it's really a system problem? Perhaps you
set your fonts really big on your browser.

Backtalk looks fine to me, jaklumen, maybe you should check your
browser, like naftee suggested.
Hi Naftee!!

Thanks-- oddly enough, I wasn't seeing the problem well enough on
other sites.

I can at least say that nothing in Backtalk has changed. It mostly avoids
fiddling with your fonts, except that it tries to force your browser to use
a monospaced font in input boxes. This has to be a browser issue of some
sort.

I'm fine, now... other sites had a few fonts looking a bit biggish. I
wonder how I accidentally set it to "Largest."

I think there's a hotkey combination (When s certain combination of
your keyboard keys will behave like a mouse click on a selection) that
does that. I've done that a couple of times by mistake. I've also done
something that makes my toolbar in all my MS applications appear
really big, but I don't know what I did, and don't have the time or
inclination to figure out how to fix it. GOtta love those "hotkeys"

Took about 3 minutes to get a login prompt, and just recieved a
message out of the blue that "grex.cyberspace.org does not seem
to exist", or words to that effect.

Another extremely long delay for a login prompt, and mail from
a very reliable source is not getting through. The DSL line
is up, but only one user is coming in from the Internet. Maybe
DNS is down; this is definitely bad news.

Outbound telnet and ftp don't seem to do anything either. (Maybe
they also have the 3-minute delay; I'm not that patient.)

It looks like there was a network problem. I don't have any more
information than: I couldn't get to grex and traceroute was failing at
Voyager, our ISP.

Turns out the DSL modem needed a power cycle. The internet user Russ saw,
possibly the terminal server?

Maybe we should get the DSL modem onto the UPS.

We took a power hit, long enough to power down the computers. We aren't too
far away from the pumpkin. The problems started at that time. Grex went
down, then up, then down. Looked sort of like the power went down with the
UPS taking over, then the power coming back up.

Well, 'grex' didn't go down; it's been up three days, four hours and
thirty-nine minutes so far.
But I can believe _something_ went down due to power.
