When you connect on the dial-ins, you dial into a terminal server, which then
automatically telnets you over to Grex. The only way to access Grex without
telnetting is on the console (or via ssh). I'm guessing inetd probably
died, and somebody probably restarted it, but I don't know for sure.

Re resp:137 - It looks like you're getting email messages from
folks who put 8-bit characters in them, but that something
along the line is substituting a symbolic code for such characters.
It's not clear to me whether it's something on Grex or something
in your local setup. You might try putting the line
PAGER='more -r'
in your .mailrc file and seeing if that makes a difference.

Couldn't dial in this afternoon. Grex starts up, tells me about
birthdays and mail, then asks for login again...and again...
telnetted in to post this. Same problem with -3000 and -5041.

I was disconnected *again* twice within just the past few minutes.
Is any staff person working to track down the reason for these
repeated disconnects? At least I can see from the reports of
others that it's not just me...

That's funny. I haven't had any disconnects that I know of in over a month.
I'm often on for a long time, but I also use *70 as a dial-in prefix because
of my call-waiting feature. Maybe it protects me against random line noise
too?

No disconnects, but the systems 'hangs' for minutes at a time, now and then.

I have routed around a floky terminal server report. But disconnects are by
no means a universal problem. I haven't been disconnected in ages, myself.
Maybe we are getting more line noise than usual. An error correcting modem
link would appear to "hang" while riding out a burst of noise.

Two unrelated things: Someone tried to log in as me Mon night.
loginid 'patti' has been logged on for over 24 hrs.
Dunno if either of these things is a problem.

I have some things-seem-to-hang-while-the-modems-deal-with-line-noise
problems on about a third of my calls to grex; disconnects are somewhat
less frequent. Reading of a failed login attempt or two when i log in
is routine.

Earlier today I tried several times to log in, but all I got was
garbage. I could however, type my login, and then password and it
would show me the MOTD but the letters were all replaced with odd
characters.

A useful piece of information for those being disconnected is the area code
and first three digits of the phone number you're dialing from. It would be
interesting if we could tie it to a particular Ameritech switch. That sort
of trunking problem doesn't seem nearly as likely going between two Ameritech
switches as it is when dealing with multiple phone companies, but it could
still be there. What kind of modem you're using would also be interesting
information.

Thanx for the reroute, Scott! I haven't been disconnected *today*

I've noticed that a mis-typed password results in a 'failed login' report
when I finally get it right.

I have also been unable to dial in to grex today and we are learning how
to use the web interface. The software and modem say I am connected but
there is no response from grex.

Hm... I don't dial in that often but have never recently had
trouble. Soon as I'm off the internet I'll give it a try and
see what happens.

I use ssh usually to get to grex..but when there is a waiting queue
I log in but then my ssh connection freezes...and I have to use telnet
is there any way for ssh logins to be added in line to the queue?

I've been hving the same trouble as the others. I dial in, and it
says I'm connected (my terminal program) but I get nothing from Grex.
It just kinda hangs there... I let it go once and after three minutes or
so it still said I was connected- but I never got the "Welcome to Grex"
bit.

SSH just doens't work with the queue, wait in line like everyone else.

Is there no way to have ssh be handled in the queue the same way as telnet,
then? I like to use it, mostly because it eliminates the chance of someone
packet-sniffing my password.

In theory, there's a way, but it would be a ugly ugly hack.
