I still can't get into agora via backtalk. I can get into any of the other
confs but not summer agora

Also known as "telnet".
This backtalk problem is weird, and seems to affect fronttalk as well.
I wasn't able to access summer Agora with either the first time I tried.
However, after joining Agora once with picospan, I could access Agora
just fine with backtalk.

It makes sense that the problem would affect both, since fronttalk is
just a command-line front end to backtalk.

My guess would be that backtalk either isn't creating the .agora??.cf file,
or is creating it with the wrong perms.

repeated strange behaviour in mail....
situation ...sometimes two emails get 'stuck together' as one.
formerly, i was able to edit, put couple blamk lines between emails
and assure that first line of 2nd email started with From blah@bletch
and since the parser looks for From (not From:) saved stuff
workde JustFine (tm). parser also looks for zero-character line ahead
of From .
now, however ............. <<grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr>> edit says 'screw-you'
'i'm gonna stick a damn > character infrnt of your pissant From
trick and keep all th is shit stuck toegether just like i fscked it
up for you before! Thhhhbpbpbpbpbpbpb!!
with all this upgrade stuff, how, when sendmail jams 2->1 what sort of
magicv incantations are necessary to unstick so that 1->2 ?

I've experienced the backtalk problem with agora. Usually I ssh in and
blow away .agora* in ~/.cfdir. Probably that's not a realistic option
for everyone since some people like to keep the status of the threads up
to date where I just mark everything as read after I visit each time anyway.
I've experienced the backtalk problem in a few other obscure conferences
over the past month or so. I think either comics or games was one. I
really don't remember.
It happened to me relatively recently when I was at the agora item
listing and I clicked on the 'mark all as seen', and as I was waiting
for it to refresh I middle-clicked to open in a new tab one of the items
that suddenly jumped out at me. After I closed that item I couldn't get
back into agora until I blew away my agora prefs. Maybe that will help
in tracking this down.

While dialed in direct, I still can't enter *anything* in BBS. I get some sort
of core dump error.
Also, while dialed in direct and downloading via Zmodem, I get a Bad CRC error
every 16K or so bytes.
Neither of these problems were present before the move to Colo.\

On second thought the Core Dump errors *might* have been occurring between
the move to the new system and the move to Colo. Can't remember for sure.

It is taking ridiculously long to download a file from the web to grex, and
almost as long from grex to my computer via 14.4K modem.

Thank you to whomever changed whatever it was that kept clearing the
screen during login. If I wanted my screen cleared, I'd put it in
my .login. :)

enough of hearing /a is full again. Rename it to /k or /l or something for
a change.

I have temporarily freed space on /a by deleting .pine-debug files again,
but not as much space was freed this time (which of course makes sense.)
I will make a proposal in the staff conference that we act immediately
to move a non-negligible number of user home directories currently on /a
to /c to better balance out the disk usage between the two partitions.
There's no reason that /a should have to fill up again and again and again.

Is there a way we can store the log files off of Grex?
