Yes, its still down. I need to finish ressuresting the accounts that
got munged. This next week looks to be better crazy wise, so I should
get it done in the next day or so.

I have changed my script to dial the second modem (0513) and no longer get
garbage. Could someone replace the first modem, assuming we have another
working one? Steve et al, thanks.

I'm sure we have spares. I forgot to reset the modei yesterday. That
might be a good thing to do.
So you've narrowed it down to the first modem. Good and thanks.

Someone else told me the first modem was bad. At least switch the two.

It looks like grex went of the 'net for about half an hour just after 6pm.

re #280 ... that disk was in pretty darn good shape based on those data.
i have seen errors found/fixed inthe 200,000 + range (ForReal!)(tm).
they were primarily ecc errors but other junk showed up in the 100,000+
range on other 'stuff'.

Does the bounce below from excite.com imply that one or more grex twits are

Are we supposed to have a ping command? It tells me 'not found'. I was
wondering why sdf.lonestar.org suddenly froze up and cannot be accessed now.

Re. #300: I tried the "finger" command circa 1:05 p.m. and got the
following results:
> finger @sdf.lonestar.org
[sdf.lonestar.org/192.94.73.1]
must provide username
> finger staff@sdf.lonestar.org
[sdf.lonestar.org/192.94.73.1]
finger: staff: no such user
Given that the attempt to "finger" didn't time-out, I assume that they
are at least partially "up".
If lonestar has an uptime report page similar to that of Grex, you might
find more information there.

Ping was disabled/removed for all but staff because it can be (and has been)
used for denial-of-service attacks.

I dialed 4840513 and got a busy number but 4840512 was free. Isn't it
supposed to hunt through the 'queue' of both numbers?

Isn't 484-0512 the 1st number and -0513 the 2nd number in the queue?
My experience is that phone number queues don't "wrap around"...this
works fine as long as people don't dial numbers further up the queue
...but features like "call back" break this assumption.

I have been dialing the second number because the first modem seemed to be
bad. Has someone replaced it?

Re resp:308: That's the way it works on our phone system at work. A
number "lower" in the hunt group will work its way up to "higher"
numbers, but if it reaches the top it doesn't try from the bottom again;
you just get a busy signal.

The login screen has said for weeks that newuser is temporarily
disabled, and that the staff is still working on restoring some
accounts. How many accounts are still being restored? How long until
newuser will be turned back on?
Thanks!
