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.

Yup.  'Twas being switched back to the UPS.

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!!

resp:117--119 - had this same problem again last night.

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.
russ
response 137 of 237: Mark Unseen   Aug 2 01:31 UTC 2003

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?
janc
response 140 of 237: Mark Unseen   Aug 2 04:12 UTC 2003

Maybe we should get the DSL modem onto the UPS.

response 141 of 237: Mark Unseen   Aug 2 06:19 UTC 2003

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.
gelinas
response 142 of 237: Mark Unseen   Aug 2 06:28 UTC 2003

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.

     Well, just glad Grex is back.  Was worried there for a bit.

I'm sure this is indicative of a problem (two users, one pty?):
