It's funny. Today when I telnetted in over lunch (11:15) there was
nobody in the queue. I connected immediately.
I can't telnet from 5-11pm because my home telnet software is messed up.

Re 11 re 9: Valerie, it would *not* require changing Picospan to do what Rane
suggested. Picospan could be spoofed, instead. newuser could initialize a
participation file, with items shown as read up to some particular time.
(IMNAAHO that should be done *right*, not the way fixseen does it, so that
as responses are added the user doesn't suddenly see all resps back to the
beginning.)
I'm not sure I think this would be a good thing; I'm just pointing out that
it could be done, and fairly easily, with a separate piece of programming,
not touching Picospan at all.

(And doing that wouldn't unconfuse users like Sindi (and like me, a couple
of times years back) who join a new conference. Only new users. But it might
avoid the problem of making new users think nothing ever happens here -
possibly at the price of scaring them away with too much activity.)

This past week, I've been able to telenet onto Grex just about anytime of
day without waiting in line. This is unusual, especially in the morning.
If somebody did something, thank you.

Those joining new conferences could be a bit unconfused by having an
into message saying what is going on (only first and last items shown
immediately - and how to see the others).

We will try the other phone lines. 5041 worked today after 3000 did not.
But nothing changed at our end, we had no problems last week.

This time 5041 did not work in 25 sec, nor did 3000 or 3411. I got
through twice today on 761-5159 after 20 seconds.

I think the first step you should take, Sindi, is to increase the 25
second timeout. That isn't long enough to negotiate a high speed
connection. I keep mine at 60 seconds. 45 should be good.

Wow! The load average is over 13 and the system is s-l-o-w. Anything
unusual going on?

When I first logged into grex, I chose dumb, not knowing a darn thing about
it. Now, whenever I try to use dumb, I cannot access pine, and I keep getting
these warning messages...like for or five lines of them EVERY TIME I hit the
ENTER key....which means All the Time. Very annoying. So I now type in vt100,
which means that when I read mail or a conf, it all comes up on the the screen
and the it compresses it self by deleting a line somewhere on the screen.
I also was not able to do a darn thing with editing in pine...the cursor
would sometimes move were I wanted it to./...or it would just stay in one
place,
or it would skip several lines at once, etc. Also very annoying. I also
cannot edit in conf. any more....How can I get this fixed??? (Iknew about
some of this before, but since I was telnetting in, it wasn't a problem...now
it's a problem...majorly)

Edit the file, in your home directory, called .profile (that leading dot
is part of the filename). There's a line in it that says:
eval `/usr/ucb/tset -s -m 'dialup:?dumb' -m 'su:?dumb' "${TERM-dumb}"`
Change all 3 occurrences of "dumb" to "vt100".

It's not necessarily .profile that needs to be editted. It is in Megan's
case, but other people have .login instead.

Just now when I tried to connect to cyberspace.org as I always do, it looks
like "the DNS" complained that it didn't know that host. grex.cyberspace.org
worked...

Re: 25
My telnet software won't work over my family's proxy server. I have no
modem in my computer because it uses an IRQ which I can't afford to
spare if I want the sound card and the Ethernet card to work.
Maybe I'll just give in to my PC-ness and buy an IMAC

I use LotusWorks, but I don't think that my windows terminal program is any
better, and neither is my alphaworks program. (I gotta check that one...I
haven't used it in forever)

A lot. Take now, for instance. And their period of inactivity I was
referring to was the conclusion of a new record of up time for them, over 56
days if I recall the statistics correctly. That's a long time.

It was 62 days of uptime. In the last 6 months M-Net's reliability
has gotten amazingly better. It's a solid system now.
Kevin, where were you telnetting from when this happened?
