When I just went to run mail I got this:
$ mail
/tmp: write failed, user disk limit reached
mail: /tmp: Disc quota exceeded
Wassup with that?!

I am seeing the last line of new / newresponse bbs items missing.
I forget what I had set my pager to - more or less - but now instead of seeing
"More" I am seeing "byte xxxx". What gives?

Missing the last line of items is often a symptom that the number of
rows on your terminal is not the same as the system thinks it is.

(I can't read that last line. :-)
If it says something about number of lines per screen in some config file
setting somewhere, then since I didn't change anything, it's something that
got broken during nextgrex'ing. Should I go on a search and destroy mission
for myself (and if so, where?), or will something systemic be fixed?

What terminal type are you set to? (echo $TERM)
This line is for the line-eater (oh, that takes me back...).

Intermittently there occurs some sort of condition where (a) Pine does
not function, and (b) attempts to enter even a single character into a BBS
response result in a "Core dumped" error message. It's not happening now, but
did happen last night and another previous time.

I think I fixed kermit. Try it; if it doesn't work send a message to staff,
please.

Pine no longer complains about permissions. In my home director I find no
pine debug files but there are three '0' length pinerc-numbered files (1 of
3, etc) from June 20 which I presume I can delete. Kermit worked for
telnetting to sdf, thanks Joe. I will try exec /usr/bin/login (is this
different from /usr/bin/login?) and if it works make an alias. But ssh worked
okay to change accounts.

exec /usr/bin/login, logged in as jdeigert, exit > NO CARRIER.
I don't think I will bother trying without the exec. ssh works.
There are still two unread 'new items' in homme that cannot be read or
fixseen'ed.

I cannot fixseen, read, or even 'b n' without getting the messages 'bad item
file header' for 'homme' - will have to actually read the items.

I forgot I CANNOT read the items so I have no idea what numbers they are.
Perhaps I can delete something in my home directory if nobody else has the
problem (a conference file).

I deleted two files starting in .homme which made no difference so the problem
may be elsewhere than my home directory.

I just went to the homme conference again (after getting that bad item file
header message) and this time it was only 1 brand new item and this time I
could also read it so the problem appears to be local not global and is
fixed.

I noticed that one of the item files in /bbs/homme was owned differently than
the others, so I changed it to match.

Thanks, Joe, you must have done that before I tried homme again.
Everything is working for me now, how boring. Grex did hang up on me once
but that is not new.

Hmmm, I may not be seeing a missing last line now. But anyway, as instructed:
$ echo $TERM
vt100
$ stty -a
speed 9600 baud; 24 rows; 80 columns;
Looks pretty standard to me...

I have noticed that login no longer accepts ssh1 (ssh2 now OK - this is
just an observation).

!more .cfonce
# here is where you can put PicoSpan customization
define pager more
And under nextgrex, as I mentioned, my "more" prompt says "byte xxx".
Also note that when I run mail under nextgrex, and do a reply, when I
use ~p to "print" what my reply is going to look like, it doesn't seem
to honor a pager setting as it did under old grex.

What do you want your "more" prompt to say?
Is the mail problem actually with the program "mail", or another mailreader?

Okay, thanks for the question on which pager I was using. It's the
subtle things that get you on a system change, it seems. Since more is
essentially the same as less now and I had "define pager more" before I
made it "define page 'less -R -E'" now and that seems to have fixed the
ANSI escape problem I was having with bbs.
