For some reason, the script in #274 didn't work for me until I added a
line:
#!/bin/sh
for a in `find /dev/tty[a-s]? -user $1 -print`
do
b=`basename $a`
echo "
$b:"
a=${b:3}
ps -xt$a
done
(Apprently, in ps -t, the 'tty' is implied, so including it in the
variable results in the shell attempting to parse 'ps ttytty[a-s]?'
rather than 'ps tty[a-s]?')

I cannot telnet to grex. I type my login and then nothing happens, or
sometimes I can get as far as typing my password. I had to use backtalk
(vanilla, lynx) to post this.

The telnet problem just fixed itself (or someone fixed it).

Grex is now immediately disconnecting when I dial in direct.

I just dialed in direct 45 minutes later.
How do I change Pine's behavior back to letting me decide whether to forward
a message as an attachment? I usually say 'no' so that I can remove most of
the message by leaving it as message body (such as all the email addresses
in it). I searched on 'forward' in Setup with no luck. Could this be put
back to default behavior, along with 100K mail limit?

Sooner or later, we'll get the configuration of exim right. When we do, a
limit on size will probably be included. Asking for it repeatedly will not
make it happen any sooner.

Okay, I will try to clean out my mailbox more often until it happens. Do we
still have a 1MB mailbox limit? 176K spams or viruses fill that fast.

I cannot access 7 or 8 ftp sites in a row including ftp.slackware.com.
I am a paid member which means I should have ftp access and these sites are
accessible from another shell account elsewhere. Do I need to change
something in lynx.cfg or somewhere?

resp:291 Thanks for installing _some_ of the GNU stuff. If we don't
have mc (Midnight Commander) how about installing git (GNU Interactive
Tools) as a file manager. Of course mc from "ports" would be better,
hint :-)

I can now do a Kermit telnet to another shell account but kermit file transfer
between them does not seem to work. I had to exit the telnet connection and
do ftp instead. I think it used to let me kermit telnet and then file
transfer between these accounts. (I had gone off to another account to get
a file at an ftp site because lynx won't work now to get files from ftp
sites).

ftp to ftp.slackware.com works but I am trying to use lynx
lynx ftp.slackware.com
That still does not work. I will try to figure out how to
use straight ftp (login anonymous password Enter?).

login anonymous, enter your complete email address as password, worked.
But ls does not work - Entering extended something-or-other mode.
It is easier to fetch files with lynx/google from anonymous sites like this.

I think my problem with not being able to using kermit file transfer between
sdf and here is that I was telnetted to grex at the time. Just now I was able
to dial in to grex (with kermit) and then ssh to sdf and then do a kermit file
transfer and amazingly the file did not get renamed L12344.htm but kept its
original name and ended up not at grex but at my own computer. Lovely!
In order to fetch a file with wget I would first need to use lynx or links
or w3m and do a google search to find the file name and path, then exit the
browser to use w3m (or at least shell out of it). Simpler to download the
file with the browser so I hope this can be fixed.
If I am telnetted to grex I guess I will just have to use ftp to move files
from sdf to grex. Instead of having to exit my telnet connection to do this
I can use the 'screen' program which lets me do several things at once at grex
such as telnet in one screen and ftp in the other. (Or if I am using linux
instead of DOS to telnet in the first place I can ftp from another linux
terminal). It will still be nice to get lynx working again at ftp sites but
there are a lot of ways around this. The large email problem should certainly
be attacked first for the benefit of the grexer who complained of getting
several a day and having to empty the inbox several times a day.

For what it's worth...I found that grex now requires sftp-2.
