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.

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

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.

"ton" was a straight copy of the code from M-net, and on M-net their
policy is to restart the wtmp file every month. Grex doesn't restart
the wtmp file very often. If I remember correctly, Grex's "ton"
is reporting time on since April 2.
To make "ton" behave correctly it would have to be modified to only
count the current month's connections, and then I don't know how it would
handle a mid-month rollover of the file.

Grex seems to be suffering from network routing problems this afternoon.
I cannot connect from tir.com or msen.com, but I can get here from
Michnet. This may be related to keesan's problem in #62?

Keesan - instead of a tilde in a URL, you can substitute %7E so
http://www.site.com/~user would become http://www.site.com/%7Euser
Everyone - the MOTD is too long. There's 2 items about system
maintnence, 2 about the lawsuit, 1 about the Grex ad on arborweb.com, 1
about the grexwalk, and 1 birthday. Couldn't the system maintnence
items be combined, the lawsuit items be combined, and the arborweb.com
thing be deleted? The arborweb thing has been there for several months.

There have been nasty routing problems going on all day, and part of
yesterday. Nothing that is Grex's fault, though. :(

Maybe I am too young to remember older, longer MOTD's, but, IMHO, a full
screen of MOTD announcements is too much.

One, "Compleete Screene" (tm) is more than enough, I agree..
It's all gone with even a line or two of scrolling after the
blasted shell wakes up..

The tilde works now, for some reason. But it is very slow to access a website
on grex by typing lynx www.grex.org/~user. Is there some more direct
way to get at a website on grex? (Such as the new kiwanis site).

www.grex.org/u/s/user I think. That is, the user directory is two levels down
from root, in a directory and subdir named with the first and second letters
in the user name. To wit, mine would be www.grex.org/d/r/drew if I were to
bother to set it up.

Actually, it would be www.grex.org/u/s/user/www. /.../user is the home
directory.

There was a major fibre cut in the Chicago area, Ken, and although it
did not affect the Chicago NAP per se, it did affect a number of companies'
connections to the Chicago NAP.
