I have typed 'tset ansi' (which gave me the usual login messages for some
reason) and then ft and will now test arrow keys. I still get [D. My
terminal setting on my linux computer is 'linux'. Then I choose vt100 at grex
(I also tried linux here with no better results). Where do I type display
readline, at line start in fronttalk?
display readline
I just typed it and got nothing back. I am not using X.
Lynx and links work (offline anyway) as expected here.

re 182 Oh. Is this related to the fact that Microsoft stopped working on
their own virtual machine for Internet Explorer, and told peole to use Sun's
instead? This being for java.

Re resp:182: That's what happens when one company dominates the market
and manages to push everyone else out. Innovation comes to a halt.
Re resp:184: Not exactly. They lost a lawsuit with Sun, and aren't
allowed to distribute their VM anymore. I don't understand the
details, but I think it had to do with them creating an incompatible
version of Java by "embracing and extending" Sun's API.

OK. This time, I really think I've fixed the terminal server. I had to
reconfigure each port, individually.
Dial-in *should* be working again. Finally.

I tried to dial in ten minutes ago and got three lines of garbage
followed by a hangup, so I telnetted but the load average was 89 with
ggg running 90 or more copies of the same process for the past 4 hours
(minutes?) or so. It was too slow to figure out if this is a dial-in
vandal.

Installed a new version of fronttalk with various bug fixes.
I don't know what's going on with keesan's arrow keys. It does say
"Fronttalk" when it starts up, right? Should be version 0.9.0 now.

Any chance you can install the current version on m-net ?

Grex will be getting a new telephone number for dial-in access. We aren't
able to move the old number to the new location.

I have no root access on M-Net, so I can't install anything there.
I did however install version 0.9.1 here. Fixes a few more bugs. Adds
a few more fairly obscure features. Read Garager if you want gory details.

Two lines, two numbers, in a hunt group. So folks really only need to know
one number, just like now.

The new telephone numbers are 734-484-0512 and 734-484-0513. The numbers
will not answer until the modems are moved, of course. I expect to move the
modems tomorrow.
The old number will forward to the new number for ninety days.

One of the modems is now connected to grex. I think it is connected to
tty00, which is now enabled. I know it is plugged into 484-0512.
So if someone wanted to try it, I'd love to hear how the attempt went.
