We already have the hardware. Didn't I say that? In prehistoric days we used
to use it to power-cycle something that kept dieing. Might have been Grex.
I don't remember. But the terminal server is really pretty reliable. It was
only futzed up this time because things were booted in the wrong order. A
technological fix would be overkill.

I didn't ask about their dial-in options because Mary had already said that
they offer the service.
A separate terminal server made sense when the hardware was different.
Right now, this minute, I can't decide if it still makes sense; I _like_ the
idea of having the modems on a Portmaster. (I remember when a PDP-11 clone
had trouble with more than six or so PPP connections at 9600bps; we've come
a _long_ way since then, but I don't have a feel for the load a PPP connection
would put on the main machine. Nor do I know that such a connection would
make sense for grex's dial-in modems when directly connected to the grex
machine.)

This discussion really belongs somewhere else besides the system problems
item, I think.
We have occasionally, over the years, discussed allowing PPP connections to
Grex, because fewer and fewer computer users even know there *is* another
kind of modem connection you can make. People connectiong to Grex via PPP
wouldn't be allowed to http out onto the internet, but they could access
Grex's web pages that way. (We don't want to compete with real ISPs.)

I'll follow-up on the modem question.

I'd be careful about using any modem that could be described as "cheap"
for dial-in service. I haven't had good luck with that combination.
For example, while US Robotics Sportster modems work great for dialing
out, I had all kinds of reliability problems with a couple of them at
work until I replaced them with Couriers. The Sportsters simply would
never complete the initial negotiation if certain other brands of modem
tried to dial into them.

I dialed 7615041 and my login timed out after 120 seconds without even giving
me a login prompt. Dialed 7613000 and got instant login prompt.

WARNING TO ADMINS: The failure of one port as Sindi details in #109
is exactly what presaged last week's total failure of the terminal server.

Right now, as I am dialed in, the good computer is burning a
CD. The computer to grex with is the 25Mhz, 4meg of memory machine.
BTW, when I telnet from M-net my pager goes screwy and pages more
lines that I want. Any clue?

resp:111 - probably your terminal client isn't communicating properly what
the size of your window is. Depending on what terminal you're using, you can
find out how big it is --- in PuTTY, drag one of the corners a little bit,
and look to the upper left corner --- and then use that number in 'stty rows
<X>'. Or use the 'change' program, which basically does the same thing
for you.

The following is a failed delivery message from an MSN account. Why are
the at signs turning into AEA? A friend cannot get mail from her friend
with MSN, he has had to retain his yahoo account to write her.

Here is more info from the person who cannot use MSN email to write grex:
What is the rfc822; ?
The Diagnostic-Code looks like Marcus's humor.
Subject: Attachment from Bounce Back
I did get this verbiage attatched to the bounce back messge, but it
does not make sense to me. I hope it does to Sindi. Every thing that
follows is the attachment (except for the couple of lines that YAHOO
always attaches.

Shortly after the previous message, about two minutes after joining party,
i got the following:
Party Process Killed.
zsh: 16042 terminated ( mesg -h n; /usr/local/bin/party; mesg -h y )
When I tried to rejoin party, i got a message from PuTTY about my connection
having been killed.

You're making ssh connections, right? At some point today Grex was out
of ttys for what reason I know not. Under such circumstances ssh will
connect you without a tty. This really stinks, as lots of stuff doesn't
work right, like backspace keys. This may have something to do with #117.
If you were connected without a tty, then robocop would have eventually
killed your processes, as it dislikes all user processes not associated
with a tty....yup, I just checked the log...robocop killed you.

I also dial into grex about half the time (I find dial up is faster than my
internet connection) but my mother's computer can only use dial up
