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 'phone company tells me they hunt.
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?

Re resp:664: Honestly, I think staff has better things to do than
censoring people's posts.

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).

Telnet and ssh both work for me. I want to get some cat3 telephone cable. I
have cat5, but I don't think that will work for telephone.
Of course, I could put two jacks on each end of the cat5, instead of one, and
use one cable for both modems. :)

CAT5 will work fine. It's just more expensive. CAT3 and CAT5 both have
four twisted pairs (eight conductors), incidentally -- CAT5 just allows
for more bandwidth.
In either case it's just a matter of crimping the right connectors on
the ends (or attaching the right jacks, as the case may be). For best
noise rejection, don't "split pairs" -- use two wires from the cable
that are twisted around each other for the phone line. Only the two
center conductors of a phone connector actually do anything, on a
single-line phone, and in fact you'll find a lot of commercial phone
cords only have two wires.
So, for a single-line phone, the connector would look like this:
--AA-- (Where - is empty, and A are wires from one pair of the cable.)
For a two-line phone, it would look like this:
-BAAB- (Where A is from one pair, and B is from another.)
Incidentally, the two wires that are used on a phone connector
correspond with the two unused positions on a 10baseT ethernet
connector. I suspect this is to help protect ethernet equipment from
damage when some clueless person accidentally plugs a phone line into it.

Hmm. I just found this website that probably explains it in a less
confusing way than I just did:
