The message "server refused to allocate pty" usually indicates a telnet queue,
which SSH doesn't deal with very well. Opening several different connections
at once is not going to make it better.

Is that a problem related to SSH in general or just the implementation htat
GREX uses?

Speaking of ssh:

I always get an obscene message when I try to ssh into grex. Plus it is
unbearably slow compared to m-net.

Is this some new virus? And if it is some local vandal, how are grexers
supposed to be reading this anyway?

ssh works for me, sftp does not.

sftp-server is a seperate program which is enabled as a subsystem in your
sshd_config (for openssh, at least). "sftp-server: command not found"
implies, i believe, that the subsystem directive is there in grex's
configuration, but the program itself is not. scp should suit your needs,
though.

sftp-server is actually run in the command shell by your ssh client,
when you connect. This seems to happen *before* your environment is set
up, too, which means there is no path to search. So your ssh client has
to have, in its configuration, the proper full path to where sftp-server
is *on the remote system*.
I ran into this on FreeBSD. WinSCP's default for where sftp-server is
located is not the same as where FreeBSD installs it.

It looks like there isn't one. Presumably our version of sshd is too
old to have come with it.
