That may mean that the modem on that line has now been turned off, so that
it eventually hunts to another line, or something like that.

Not likely. Dunno how grex is provisioned from the CO but the only
time a number dialed will hunt a trunk is before the first ring.
Thus this is more likely a DTR-not on the RI. Its been thankfully
a number of months since so I forget but the last time I delt with
such an issue it was the modem cable and not the modem itself.
Also one should consider the bigger picture, just because yesterday
one number on an hunt trunk rolled over to the next is no reason
to assume the same is today or that it will in the future.
Most of the folk that know how a POTS should work are long since
gone and been replaced by 'yo's on minimum wage who haven't a clue
unless the hi-tech laptop tells them. Welcome to the world of
'deregulation'....(you pay more now for less).

Grex's net connection seems really sluggish today, but maybe it's just my
path.

Slowness is gone and the web server is back. Apparently there were
vandal problems. From the motd:
Grex's web server is temporarily down, and Grex is very slow due to
vandals requesting the same web page over and over again. -vm

See #20 in the System Announcements item (#3). Grex is being hit with a
DDoS attack. The webserver has been taken down to reduce the impact.

Cannot send out mail - is that related to the webserver?

A couple of hours ago e-mail to me from her work at cornerhealth.org
was bounced, saying Grex was not accepting e-mail from that address.
Any ideas why?

I got an odd message after trying to send some mail, something about
"grex.cyberspace.org does not seem to exist", or words to that effect
(they scrolled off because of the Agora login message).

My wife tried (again) to send mail to me from cornerhealth.org.
Here are the basics of the bounce message she got:
The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -
dpc@cyberspace.org
Reason: 553 I can't accept mail from XXX@cornerhealth.org
via w162.z208177186.det-mi.dsl.cnc.net.
What, if anything, is Grex trying to say here?

(that it's overloaded with connection attempts from other places?
possibly? just maybe?)

Backtalk is back. The system is a bit quicker this afternoon, too.
Many thanks to the hero(es) who have been dealing with this mess. If
you folks aren't the best, then you're definitely up and coming
contenders.

A transformer supplying the building grex is in, and the whole block,
apparently blew up. Grex was down until we were pretty sure power was
back (ie, when I stopped by to see if the power was on a few minutes
ago). The power does work now. The DSL router is deader than a door
nail now though -- I guess it didn't survive whatever the transformer
did.

Since the DSL router has departed this life, does its demise
mean that (1) all off-site incoming e-mail is being bounced,
and/or (2) that all outgoing e-mail is being blocked?
FWIW, the last off-site e-mail I received came in at 12:51 p.m.
August 1.

(outgoing mail wouldn't necessarily be blocked, but it's not going
anywhere until a DSL router is put in place. incoming would be
another matter; I know that [either] we [or another system] have
had mail queued for delivery at an alternate location in the past.
dunno what's being done in this instance.)
(glad to hear Grex itself is OK. what's the prognosis for getting
another router? do we need a bake sale?)

Generally mail that can't be delivered due to network problems is held at
the system trying to send it. Usually error messages are sent back to the
sender periodically until the message is about 4 days old, and then it's
bounced. So if Grex can get a new router within the next three days, you
probably won't lose any mail. Mailing lists may kick you off, though,
depending on how the software is configured.

The router has been replaced, at unknown expense. Grex itself has
slightly more generous time limits for mail that can't be sent right
away -- it will wait a whole day before complaining about queued mail
(the default is 4 hours), and will wait 5 days before bouncing it
(default is 3 days).

Okay, it worked that time. It must have freaked out on the abandoned process,
which I deleted.
