Thanks from me and from dpfitzen, who phoned yesterday to find out whether
the attachment in her email might have caused grex to stop working for her.
She writes that it is doing fine again now, thankfully.

I think the dialins may be down again. I got nothing beyond
my own software's notice of a connect. Then I hung up
and telnetted in from M-Net. I got in immediately with
no delay.

Lynx has not been working for a while - just times out after taking
forever to get the DNS number on the screen for any URL.

That might be a result of work on Gryps, which we use for a web proxy (among
other things). I'll send an email to the appropriate staffer.

It just took 38 seconds between my software showing that I was connected, and
Grex asking for my login.

Right, still getting long delays from the terminal server, and it has
stopped saying "it may take a few seconds to connect". Instead I just get:
/---------------------------------------------\
| CONNECT 14400 V42 |
| <long delay> |
| Grex is the Midnight Snack of Champs |
| |
| New to grex? Type help at the login prompt |

Item regarding the long delay for login prompt on the dial-ins:
the usual note "Welcome to Grex! Please wait..." that I usually
use as an indication that I can start typing, is missing.

Still getting 32-35 second delay, but my screen is saying all the right
things. (it may take a few seconds....)

Lynx is still not working - it finds the DNS number and says 'making
HTTP connection to 123.44.....'.

Re #89: There's a note in the MOTD about the proxy server being down. That
means Lynx isn't going to work until it's fixed.

oval, try
printenv TERM
or
echo $TERM
I'd guess it *won't* say vt100. You could then try
setenv TERM vt100
and see what happens.

I have now begun to receive spam sent to comments@grex, board@grex, and
possibly other alias addresses. All in favor of spammers being subjected
to spontaneous combustion, say "Aye!" (You don't have to type it in,
though.)

you could always get the senate to add spammers to the new
'life behind bars' bill - see Nucking Futts item.

The idle timer seems to be failing. I got a whole bunch of messages
telling me I would be disconnected for idleness, but the disconnect
never happened.

Hmmm... it's possible that the number of open connections dropped between the
warning and its execution, of course.
