Mail not sent, error 451 writing spool file - is that on /var? I could
Postpone the message at least.

Lynx google: Can't access start file (it did try google.com).
ssh or telnet: Temporary failure in name resolution.
And the only two mails I got were returned when grex could not send them due
to a problem in finding the host. (No spams in at least 12 hours).

I just wandered down to the pumpkin and power cycled the DSL box.
Looks like we're back on the 'net.

Sorry, but as of now we're still off the Net. I can't reach
www.cyberspace.org from either my wife's machine or my own.

Multi-minute lag. It is no longer optional to find a way to
throttle bandwitdh on the DSL link. It is essential.

Massive, crippling network lag. This is the worst I've seen it in a long
time. Are we ever going to get the DSL connection fixed?

Won't the colocation take care of DSL problems?

Yes, it will. Is that planned for the near future?

grex is freezing a LOT for long enough to invoke the idle killer..*excep**
that logging in elsewhere shows no idle time ...

I don't know what is going on. I've had to kill several connections in the
past hour. I can get to another machine in the pumpkin, without problem.
Maybe things have cleared up.

The connection problems seem to extend to incoming mail.
It just took 5 minutes to get the previous line to echo.

Further information:
The lag is on a per-connection basis; while an ssh session is
locked up, I can ping Grex with sub-200 msec ping times and
establish another. So, something is hanging individual
connections. This points to a stack bug or configuration issue.

Terrible lag on ssh, no lag on dialup.

Could we get the mail system to do without that silly MAILER-DEMON Do Not
Delete This Message file that it insists on having? The mail system on Old
Grex managed without it.

I'm having *serious* lag when I come into the conferences through
backtalk. At about 9:55 a.m. this morning I got to the "Welcome
to Grex's Backtalk Conferencing System!" page without too much
delay. I pressed the button "Enter Conferences". The system
was trying to reach ~/cgi-bin/pw/backtalk/pistachio/begin", but
it took *nearly two minutes* for the "Connect to" box to pop up.
I entered my loginid and password, and there was another
very long delay before I was able to reach the entry page for
the conferences.
Is this "normal" behavior?

Temporarily disabling the automatic idle log-off program, might be a
useful palliative measure. Even though not treating the cause, it would at
least treat a major symptom.

Another fact:
While my connection looks "stuck" and is failing to echo,
I can type and watch packets go out and return in sync with
the keys. The problem looks like a dropped packet without
a proper retransmit.
