I dialed in, and the modem connected but after that nothing responds.
Still sitting there connected to the modem after 8 minutes. (I'm
telnetted in to enter this. I have problems if I telnet in, so I
avoid it.)

I've had that problem too, twice, but the 761-3000 number works fine, and both
times I've just tried the 761-5041 number again a few minutes later and have
connected fine.

The outgoing mail limiter, upon getting a message exceeding the intended
limit, *both* sends the mail anyways *and* bounces a copy back to me. I do
not think that this is what's intended.

Re #186 et seq--I *did* properly log off the first time. If I'd been
disconnected, I would have expected the problem.

Grex appears to be suffering from massive processory slowdowns at the moment.
Or it did, when I was getting on.

You mean, staff doesn't automatically know or figure it out as soon as they
get on? :) I had assumed that was what was wrong, but it didn't occur to me
to mail anyone about it.

There aren't always staff members logged on.

And to finish John's statement
"but there are several staffers who are rarely, if ever, not in close
contact with their e-mail."

Hmm. I'm dialed in, and it seems as though Grex is running reasonably fast,
but the *display* is slow. As though at 1200 or maybe even 300 bps -
displaying distinctly one character at a time, as though a fairly fast typist
were typing very steadily. (I'm connected at 2400 bps, my modem max, & this is
**much** slower.) When a line just wordwrapped (in gate), & when I backspace
over anything, I see the very distinct backspace-space-backspace sequence. Are
network packets going out to the term server with a single-character maximum
size or something?

re 205:
I would guess that that's a modem thing, and not a terminal server
thing. The thing to do is probably to go to the Pumpkin and power cycle the
modems.
note: I don't use the dial-in modems, so I'm not very motivated to go do
that. Somebody who cares about the problem should go fix it.

I'm glad I didn't go tickle the modems.
If a staffer is going to the pumkin this weekend to reboot or backup, I would
like to know so I can try to be there to see it done. I don't want to have
to try it going on just reading about it. My number is on here, and in the
phone book.

Often when reading mail in Pine I get this banner at the top:
This message contains non-ASCII text, but the iso-8859-1 font
has apparently not yet been installed on this machine.
(There is no directory named /usr/local/src/metamail-2.7/fonts.)
What follows may be partially unreadable, but the English (ASCII) parts
should still be readable.
The message always displays correctly, presumably because the sender doesn't
use any wacky characters. Is there any chance we could get that font
installed?

Are we running X to be able to display fonts even if the font were there?

Well, no. I was just hoping that by putting the right file in the right
directory we could make that message go away.

It might ... to be replaced by a "you are not running X" message. metamail
can only do so much.

Could you explain what metamail is, Dave? And why Pine is running it?

Actually, I think pine may have some degree of mime support built in; I was
thinking of elm, which is what I use. In the case of elm, they decided to
build in (if you compile it in) calls to an external, but freely available,
program to handle mime formats which elm doesn't know are basically just text.
I suspect man metamail will tell you all you might wish to know, and more.
Again in the case of elm, I think there's a place in the config file
(.elm/elmrc) to specify fonts (or whatever they are - character sets) which
elm will treat as equivalent to US-ASCII & display without calling metamail.
I keep meaning to add a couple to it, but I never remember when the time
comes.

Could also get your freinds to set their fancy-stanzy mailer
to send you only text, instead of the rich-text-format wanting to
be sent from MS mailers.
