Last night Grace tried to log in, from home (dialin).  Connected to the modem,
no further response.  I've now tried; I've been connected to the modem for
over 15 minutes with no response.   Possibly from this fact it would be
possible to deduce which modem is to blame.  (From work I can telnet in, so
as to enter this.)

Telling which modem is the culprit is a lot harder than it used to be.

7613000 hangs as soon as I get the CONNECT message from my modem...may
want to check it out.

        In my previous dial in, just now, to 3000, it rang thru to next line.
Then it hung after connect.  I got thru on the 3411 line.

dialing 761-3000 worked on the first try for me this morning...

I've swapped terminal servers, and als a modem that appeared to be flaky.

I'm getting "Invalid IP Address" now when i try to dial in.

Oops.  That should be fixed now.

I'm dialed in, but when I try to run Kermit, Grex tells me that only dial-in
users can use Kermit, and I should be using ftp instead.  Looking at the
script, it appears that Scott must have changed the terminal server's IP
address from 204.212.46.131 to 204.212.46.132, but /usr/local/bin/kermit
doesn't know that.  Could someone fix it?  I imagine the x- y- and z-modem
scripts have the same problem.

  They do. I was trying to download a few web pages (less then 10k) and I
got that stupid text. IT was annoying to say the least
scott
response 48 of 162: Mark Unseen   Aug 1 16:27 UTC 1999

Ah.  Well, I actually changed to our spare terminal server, which naturally
has a different IP address.

I'll see if I can fix the script.

OK, I fixed it.

        Thank you for all, scott.  Hope we helped to pin down the bad modem.

I was coaching a Cleveland Free-net user through the Lynx interface 
to the Grex conferences.   In Lynx, on the page "Grex Backtalk Welcome 
Page 1 of 2",  the Enter Conferences link is on the same line as 
the "vanilla" radio button, which makes it hard for newcomers to find.
 
It looks like      (*) Vanilla Enter Conferences

Ugh.  Need to check out more of these pages via lynx.

While you are there, jan: in explaining the difference between the 
"pistachio" and "vanilla" interfaces, Backtalk recognizes that I am 
using Lynx and adds text telling me to select the "vanilla" 
version.  But the radio button defaulted to "pistachio," I'm 
pretty sure.  If Backtalk is going to recommend "vanilla" to me,
maybe it could also set the radio button.

        Wow ... "pistachio" versus "vanilla" reminds me a lot of a joke from
Anything That Moves magazine ...

Actually, some lynx users seem to prefer pistachio to vanilla, though
vanilla was designed with lynx in mind and pistachio wasn't.

        How violent.  "Help!  KIll help!"

        It's very 90s.

        I give it a 8.5, Chuck.

Odd.  I can't connect through telnet or backtalk to grex.  I think it's my
ISP, since the thing won't let me connect to  M-net either

Is ton working correctly?

response 61 of 162: Mark Unseen   Aug 13 16:32 UTC 1999

Grex is exceedingly slow through the Internet right now, but at least
it's available again.  Backtalk is taking a couple of minutes to show the
results of pressing a button (such as "Next item").  Telnet seems a little
faster than that.

I cannot access altavista or yahoo to look at the new kiwanis website that
omni says he just posted.  How else can I look at a website?  I cannot type
lynx plus any URL with a tilde in it, Procomm objects.
