I'm sorry, I certainly won't blame anyone, but this unreliability of grex is
becoming intolerable. If things are going to continue like this indefinitely,
then that constitutes the beginning of the end...

I just "rebooted" the DSL modem again after finding grex off the net, that
seems to have "fixed" things. The "slowly goes bad" DSL connection issue
is an old issue, easily fixed with a few quick button pushes.
More bothersome to me is that i tried dialing in before coming down to
this-here pumpkin...and got the greeting from the terminal server, but
NOT the grex login prompt...leading to a preliminary mis-diagnosis of an
actual grex crash. Has anyone else seen problems getting all the way to
the grex login prompt when grex really is alive?

It just took 1.5 mins between the dial-in welcome screen and the login:
prompt.

Right - I had the same experience as Colleen. I suspect the ssh daemon was
trying to do something (a reverse lookup?) which didn't work because the net
connection was down, and it had to time out before it would let me lot in.

hmm.... Load seems within normal limits. But it did take a while to get
a login prompt using ssh. Once I got the prompt, though, things seemed
to work fine. traceroute looks normal, as does top.
I dunno.

Ditto #194, it took a while to get the login: prompt via dial-in.
Wish i knew how to restart telnetd...or enough to deduce what the
problem really is.

I put ssh into 'verbose' mode for this session. The pause was between these
two lines:
] debug1: identity file /Users/gelinas/.ssh/id_dsa type -1
] debug1: Remote protocol version 1.5, remote software version 1.2.20
Not that I know what that means, right now; it's just a datum.

You mean a piece of data.

Still getting a long pause before the login prompt appears.

The problem might be easy to fix, but it requires someone to be physically
present to fix it, not always possible with a volunteer system. What happened
to tod's kindly donated modem?

re #190
Is the DSL modem I sent months ago being used yet or is Grex still on the
broken one?

re 201:
I think it's holding up a wombly table.
Same delay in dial-up connect and log-in prompt.

A *wombly* table?
"Underground, overground, Wombling free, the Wombles of Wimbledon Common are
we..."
Y'all are SO missing a trick if you've no idea what I'm on about!

re #202
I'm willing to do what I can to unscrew Grex's problem from a hardware
standpoint but staff needs to meet me halfway by installing it.

Pine printing works now, in DOS. (I was in linux before and was not set up
for printing - need to load a module first and who knows what else).

Grex (today) is taking a very long time to connect when I dial in.

Connections via telnet have also seemed slower than usual, though
I have not attempted to measure the time.

I am still experiencing an extended wait between the time that I start
my ssh client (PuTTY) and the time I receive a login prompt from Grex.
Performance is more or less normal once I get logged in but it takes
quite a while for the login prompt to show up. While connecting to my
present session I timed it and it took 79 seconds before I got a prompt.
Any ideas?

I just opened another ssh1 terminal window to Grex, and it also took 79
seconds for the login prompt to appear.
