maybe grex should get rid of the dial-in modems altogether. I mean are
they really necessary anymore? I suspect that most anyone who dials in
now has other internet access and is doing it purely as a matter of
convenience or old habit. they could either be eliminated altogether
to save money or reduced to one or two, and priviledge to dial in to
grex could become a member only perk. it is a reasonable thing to
consider if there isn't a whole lot of staff presence and the modems
are falling into disrepair as claimed in previous response by russ

Sigh. Russ continues to abuse volunteers.

re 247 + 248: Or, how about a CPAP? Or is it not the type of sleep apnea
that that helps?
My dad was diagnosed with sleep apnea when I was 10. If you're in need of
jokes about it, we've got a few. ;)

IVBB it seems that some people don't seem to understand that Grex staff are
volunteers, and do this in their loving spare time... which for some is not
much. For shame on you unappreciating people.

And a corollary to that, which I'm sure would be argued if not mentioned,
is that Grex cannot guarantee the quality or consistency of the services
it provides, which is why we do not sell our services per se.

It might be nice if we had a way to dial out from the pumpkin. But that would
at most confirm that one modem was working.

Is there a way to monitor the connections the terminal server is making,
perhaps via a screen on that machine?

IBB some folks want to use the "Bummed" item to solve grex's various problems.

The terminal server does not have a screen.

Re #243: Sometimes I think our mail server at work spends more time
sending bounce messages than actual mail.
Re #251: <sarcasm>IVBB the half-dozen people who refuse to use Internet
connections they apparently have anyway to reach Grex expect Grex to
spend lots of money supporting dial-in lines for their use.</sarcasm>

It takes three paid members to support a phone line. This frees up the
internet connection for use by people who prefer to use that.

IABB the song-parody items are proliferating. I'd prefer one item I don't
have time to read to a half-dozen (and growing). :(

Regarding sleep apnea: good luck. It took me over a year from the time I
determined to my own satisfaction that I had sleep apnea needing treatment
to the point where I got the medical community to actually give me the
treatment in question (BiPAP machine). Granted, some of that time was
because I needed surgery to correct a deviated septum before the machine
could be expected to work. Frustrating, but worth it: I sleep much
better now and have more energy.

BiPAP = Bilevel positive airway pressure. Basically, there's a computer in
it that blows harder when it detects that I'm breathing in, and not so hard
when I'm breathign out. A normal CPAP (C = continuous) just blows the same
all the time.
I may yet end up doing something like a tonsil and uvula reduction, just to
lower my pressure, which is pretty high.

A co-worker went on vacation for two weeks, leaving me in charge of her
two tropical fish. They died today, after 3 days.
I gave them the spiral funeral and sent her an e-mail.
