Re resp:656: I'm pretty sure Grex is using external modems, unless
something has changed.

Interesting. Perhaps then turning Grex off was just to be on the safe side.
Only Joe can enlighten us, really.

re #659...we seem to have a problem with certain users or user posting
fake url's. A user posting fake url's is purposely posting bad
information on the system. Which in turn cause people who come here
to see these links and hit on them. If grex is full of posts with bad
url links, it makes grex itself look bad. IMO staff does not need to
be condoning such activity.

Primarily, I turned grex off because I wanted to plug it into the powerstrip
I have the modems plugged into. When I went in on Saturday, I plugged the
powerstrip in to the UPS. It just made sense to me to have everything plugged
into the powerstrip.
These are the GVC external modems we were using at the Pumpkin.

if this is the case, we must first as ourselves, why are people hitting on
links instead of on buns?
a neoclassical formulation would b e: because they're women!
but this was busted up by the implicationf of implied homosexuality in the
work of anciebnt greek scholars combined with the people who supported "greek
life".
so, the next formulation was: because they'er women and abnormal men!
this held true until the famous french midget jaques derrida came along and
DECONSTRUCTED the idea of gender, positing that women were the euqal and
opposite reaction (i.e. social newtonianism) and that this allowed us to bust
up the gender binary,
and come up with he current forulation: some PEOPLE like hitting on lin ks,
some like hitting on buns, some don't like hitting on either, and some like
hitting on both.
needless to say, richard shoulod be ashamed of his
discriminatory/sexist/genderbinaryist views of hitting on links.

deliberately posting a bad link on grex on purpose should be seen as
just as bad as deliberately posting bad code on grex. Or deliberately
posting any sort of information known beforehand to be bad on grex.
It is corrupting the quality of the bbs. Grex should pride itself on
the quality of its posts, and that means staff taking action when it
sees users deliberately and purposely posting bad information
repeatedly.

Re #661 - something must have changed, because I could connect to the
Pumpkin but I can't connect to Grex in its new home. Nothing's changed on
my end except the phone number I'm dialing. It does sound like there's a
little bit of line noise, but I wouldn't think that'd be enough to cause a
problem.
BTW Joe - do these lines hunt? I.e., if I dial 0512, and it's busy, will
I be forwarded to 0513?
Also, the !phones command needs to be updated.

The phones script is updated.

I tried just now and could not connect via dialing. I might have been using
a different computer earlier when I connected. I have mostly USR Sportsters
flashed from x2 to v90. This one is a 28.8K.

When I get back I could try to dig up my old Newton-based modem configuration.

re resp:664: Grex should pride itself on the quality of it's posts? Do
you read most of the responses? The URL postings are below average in
creativity and information content but they are hardly the bottom of
the barrel here. Just filter the author, as I do. Then you don't have
to worry about them any more.

I can't run Pine because (I think) Grex is unable to find my terminal in the
utmp file. What does that mean?

Caveat re resp:678 - Fronttalk is beta, so expect some rough edges if
you use it. However, Jan's been putting a lot of work into it recently
and it's getting to be in good shape. There's an item in the Garage
conference to discuss Fronttalk bugs and features (item:garage,5).
