We've already accepted one donation of a replacement modem. We just haven't
been able to flash its memory to a more recent (and more suitable to our
application) version of its software. I don't think another donation
will help right now. :(
But thank you for the offer.

OK, no worries. The offer was made on the understanding that you couldn't get
the memory flashed, but if that's not the issue, even better.

Are you saying it can't be flashed or that staff just hasn't done it?

re #25: Perhaps if you could tell us what features are necessary
someone could provide an already-working modem properly configured.

re #28
The modem is hardware the Grex ISP recommends. It just needs a flash from
IDSL to SDSL (which I'm fairly certain can be done via the serial port and
a laptop.) I'd be glad to flash it if someone wants to send it back.

I'd be happy to flash it too, if someone let me take possesion of it
on a temporary basis.

"bbs" seems to be ignoring my .cflist completely.

Despite the presence of a long and correctly formatted .cflist, the command
"next" in "bbs" returns the messages "no more conferences left". No
bbs configuration files in my home directory have been modified since the last
time the command "next" worked.

Is that every time, or just after you've used the "next" command to go through
the list?

Every time I use the "next" command.

Any recent changes to permissions?

Only to the directory ~twenex, whose permissions have recently been changed
and then changed back again.

Ah. I think you have to give "r-x" to everyone, to enable picospan to
find and read your .cflist file.
That's largely why I use a ~/Private and ~/Public structure. :)

The permissions were the problem. The permissions need to be at least 750,
or rwxr-x---. I had inadvertently changed them "back" to 740, no "x"
permission for the group.
Thanks.

Just now: Tried to telnet to grex, connection failed, twice in a row. Was
able to connect/"login" via backtalk. Then went back and was able to
connect/login via telnet. This has happened before. Comments?

Just a few minutes ago, I & some others I talked with (phones) had a lot of
trouble connecting to anything at all through the internet. I'd say something
was not working out there, & that it got fixed.
