That happens to me with TeraTerm, regardless of how I connect.  I think
Grex sends a terminal reset command right before doing the Erase stuff.

I have .hushlogin set anyway, because I prefer to diff the motd so I
only have to read the changes, not the whole thing every time.

I'm using putty for my ssh sessions, and NetTerm for telnet sessions.
I have no prolbems when using NetTerm.  I guess I'll have to see how
I can get Grex to stop sending a reset, if that's what it's doing.

The whole systems seems to be having issues, or is at least losing
most/all connections.

My ssh connection has been dropped several times today, ditto for telnet.
Generally within a few minutes of my connecting, the session will seem to
freeze, with characters I type evidently not reaching whatever program I'm
in at the time.  About a minute or so later my ssh client (putty) gives up
the ghost and declares the connection terminated.

If I ping grex from a command prompt window while my putty session is
frozen, packets seem to be getting through at least as far as grex.org.
Is anyone else experiencing this or should I be looking for explanations
on my end first?

ssh and web access has been very erratic for me today.  I'm dialed in right
now, but earlier that wasn't working, either.

I've had problems with telnet and ssh in the past couple hours.

I could not dial or telnet in just now.  Using backtalk (6 pm).

I'm in via SSH right now.

Now I was able to telnet (17 min after my first five attempts).

I got dumped earlier today too.

Generally, I use traceroute when I notice problems like those described
above, and, generally, I see that packets are being dropped between
voyager and grex.  Here is an excerpt from the results of a such test
from right now:

} 10  rback0.flnt.mi.voyager.net (216.93.15.210)  56 ms  51 ms  51 ms
} 11  cyberspacecomm.flnt.mi.voyager.net (216.93.107.238)  113 ms  63 ms  65 ms
} 12  grex.cyberspace.org (216.93.104.34)  65 ms  59 ms  67 ms

It's right after hop 10 I see trouble.

Earlier today, I noticed such things, when I was logged in (via ssh)
between 14:56 and 15:38.  I guess my ssh client was more tolerant,
because I did not lose my connection.

Earlier, I was dialed in & telnetted out (Grex is the only ISP I've got),
and kept getting hung up (um, frozen, not disconnected - if I pressed ^]
I got immediate response from telnet).  A bit later, Jon was on (dialed in)
and kept getting disconnected.  The fact that dialins were disconnected
at that point suggests something local to Grex, but possibly in the
network connection to the termserver.

I'm getting something similar now.
Telnet connections need 1 minute to login prompt.
Backtalk slogs rather badly too.
Normal (non-cgi) HTTP is fine.

Pine keeps dumping me when I try to send a mail (several times a week):

Grex took over 140 seconds to give a login prompt.

DNS for grex.org isn't working.  Both dns.gibbard and grex.cyberspace
fail:

        res_send to server dns.gibbard.org  209.142.209.52: Connection
                refused

and

        res_send to server grex.cyberspace.org  216.93.104.34: Connection

I gave up dialing in but could telnet.  Took a bit of a wait.
keesan
response 185 of 251: Mark Unseen   Feb 24 01:30 UTC 2003

This time I waited a couple of minutes and could dial in.

It took over 2 minutes to get a login prompt.  Again.

I've finally got the lowdown on the mail errors cited above:

WTF does THAT mean?

You've somehow fallen afoul of mdw's bible-quoting trouble filter.
gull
response 189 of 251: Mark Unseen   Feb 24 04:22 UTC 2003

I don't know which filter that is.  I know replies I send to a mailing list
I'm on sometimes run afoul of the 'my skin is black upon me' filter if I
don't remove excess spaces from the subject line.

 a bible filter is rather refreshing!
  
able to get through with cyberspace.org bt not with grex.org.

The Bible quotes mean that Marcus's filtering thinks it's spam.  You may be
able to get more specific info on what triggered this from him.

response 192 of 251: Mark Unseen   Feb 24 12:46 UTC 2003

... though (whatever it is) I doubt you'll have any luck getting him to change
it to let your mail through; it's probably keeping lots of real spam from
people.

Hmm.  The headers you cite would suggest that there's a problem with the russ
account itself, not with other contents of the message.  ("would suggest"
meaning "suggest to me", & I'm not particularly up on this stuff.)
