Is there any progress on getting grex some working faster modems?

I think that getting NextGrex up and running is more important for staff to
work on, than trying to upgrade equipment on the old Grex.

Are there dialin-quality USB modems? I've found out the hard way that a
typical consumer modem does not do well in dial-in service.

Other than reduced power consumption what would be the advantage
to spending money on new hardware to replace stuff that's still
working and already functional? I'm sure I'm biased here, as USB
modems just sound like an awful idea to me, but I can't in any
case see the real advantage.

My incoming mail is now running 75% to 80% spam - and very repetitious
spam at that. I dutifully forward the spam to uce. Will this situation
improve - that is, will be able to filter spam conveniently?

I'm currently in the middle of preparing spamassassin to roll out
for the ~4000 customers at the ISP I've recently begun working for.
I've had good results with it personally so far -- it's remarkably
good at catching spam and has a very low false positive rate so far..
Given the size of Grex's user base and all the other demands on the
hardware, it might be too resource intensive for Grex to use sitewide,
however. I'd say it's worth looking into.

Re #82: My experience is with US Robotics Sportster modems. They work
great for dial-out, but on dial-in seem to have reliability and
compatibility problems. We were using one for dial-in service at work,
and I had all kinds of problems with it hanging in the middle of the
handshaking phase while talking to certian other brands of modem until I
replaced it with a Courier. This suggested to me that there are
definate design differences between the average consumer modem and ones
intended for dial-in service.

I just joined this item and read about SSH java client. I have been using
Mindterm ssh client for some time now. One day I tried telnetting from school
and it wouldn't allow it anymore! So I was desperate cus I had to Grex ;)
and so I found Mindterm. I get the same errors as Drew gets, it asks me to
create a directory, I say no and then it lets me telnet anyway. I was thinking
I could install Mindterm on www.grexergallery.net . I'll look into it.

Polite people don't log in with a different login every time, which makes it
more laborious to filter them out. But they already know that.

Given that we have open newuser on this system, is there any practical
effect, other than to satisfy a personal sense of spitefulness,
of disabling an account?
