Whoever put up the Welcome to Grex! message that comes
after inital connection to the terminal server for dialups, Thank
You. However, if I keep on getting disconnected soon after getting
that message, I could lose the GREX habit real easy now.

earlier today would get a message of no connection, after connecting.
First time or two I thought it was at my end, but finally the lit
bulb lit and decided it was elsewhere. Waited, then this evening
connected. When I try to quit, keep getting a new log in sigh.
So, just disconnect. Again,
thanks for those who keep it going. I do appreciate the kindly
service.

Hey, I'd rather be locked into Grex than locked out! *grin*

tried to get a newuser logged in today .. by direct dial.
he say the 11 of 23 ....waiting and said 'forget it.'
DIRECT DIAL?????? wha??????
i think the above situation is an artifact of 'thoughtlessness.'
oh, it was ...it doesn't matter when it was, it was a
DIRECT CONNECTION, for silly sakes.

I keep hearing everybody going on and on about how horrible the queue on the
dial-up lines is. This isn't going to be a popular statement, but I don't
see what the big deal is. I don't dial in, so the queue has been there for
a long time as far as I'm concerened. I'm used to it, and it really doesn't
seem like a big deal. It does seem a little bad from a resource utilization
perspective, since we're paying for the dial-up lines, but that's a financial
issue, not a huge annoyance that should be causing people to start calling
other people idiots.

This may or may not be something.
I tried several times this afternoon to logon, and it just didn't happen.
I dialed the -5041 number first, it connected, then after 2 minutes of
being idle and not reporting a thing, it bumped me off. The same thing
happened on -3000. This was about 14:00 today. I then decided that was down
for some reason or other and turned the computer off. Now fast forward to
17:00; and I got the same thing, only getting booted off after 30 seconds of
connection. In desparation, I tried the experimental modem and got right on.
I think the dialin I got in on was -9546.
Hope that was complete enough.

I think Grex was down for a while this afternoon.
Dialing the 5041 number won't get you anything different than 3000 at this
point, execept access to fewer lines. All the modems are running at 14.4.

Grex *was* down from early afternoon to after 5:00 (when I was able to
stop by and reboot it).
We're not intentionally leaving the telnet queue in place. Right now
I'm waiting to see if we have a spare power supply from another
staffer's basement. Friday I'll have time to put one in, if available.

I tried to dial in direct, and while it connected (ie., the modem picked up)
it did not give me anything on the screen. I tried a couple of the dial-in
lines and they did the same thing, so I tried telnetting and here I am. Can't
really tell ya more about it than that. Hope it helps.

Dialing the 5041 number got me a very different effect just now (1:30pm)
I dialed 5041, got connected and waited 5 minutes (by the software timer) with
no response, ie login: prompt.
I hung up, dialed 3000 and had no wait, no queue and less than 2 seconds till
the login: prompt.

On Tuesday at 3:30 PM I was trying to send a message in Pine and I got this
message:
ld.so: call to undefined procedure _sigpause from 0xf77134ac
It then dumped me out to my shell prompt, but typing had no effect. (That is,
the shell wasn't accepting any input.) Did Grex crash at that time, does
anyone know? Is that what I saw?

And BTW I disagree with scg about the dialin lines too. I think we should
get them out of the queue as quickly as possible.

I'm extremely concerned that we're driving away local dialers-in by
the queue, but let's take the discussion to Coop.

Some of the modems are not connecting correctly... turned out my modem
programming cable went bad today, and the other is at the office... :(

I think someone is trying to get into my account.
2 failures since last login. Last failed 17:57:18 from 205.211.3.2.
At that time, I was watching a Clint Eastwood movie on TNT.
How can I find the source of this attempt?

RE #158 I didn't know that Clint Eastwood made movies on explosives.

Very funny, but I was being entirely serious. I was NOT at my computer at
the time and that bothers me, dammit.
