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?

Er, actually M-Net set a new record of 59 days, 10 hours and 33
minutes of uptime before it froze because it overheated. Some really
vigorous discussions must have been going on! 8-)

there's something charmingly oxymoronic in the phrase "froze because
it overheated"..

Hmmm... sure it wasn't 62 days? Thats what I saw and remembered it
as two months. Oh well, either number is impressive.
But seeing as this is a the Grex problems item, I have a question
which is how many people get severe line noise, usually after being
connected a minute or so? I'm trying to determine if I have a problem
or if grex does.

I finally figured out that to get to grex from the website you do not click
on Backtalk but on Go to the conferences. And there I found the option of
choosing Pistachio backtalk, which requires any browser except lynx, i. e.,
a graphics-based browser. My only web access is by dialing directly to grex
and using lynx. This apparently means that people who dial in to grex and/or
are using older computers cannot use Pistachio. Therefore there is no way
that I can change the title of an item. Am I wrong? If I am not wrong, could
someone correct this situation so that local users who dial in, and
telnetters, can do the same things as those who access from the website?
Also, I tried to do lynx to www.cyberspace.org/nu/newuser.html and was told
it was 'not found on this server'. That is what I was told was a way to
create a newuser account directly rather than going to the main website. Did
I do something wrong?

Email correspondents have reported intermittant refusals of mail addressed
to cyberspace.org. grex.cyberspace.org seems to work fine.
