Hoping that maybe *something* in them will trigger
some memory or thought,
here's a copy of an email I sent to my shell-acct ISP, re
their dial-in somehow operating differently these days -- seems
it now uses TTS authentication, after I enter "panix.com" to
it's "host" prompt, simply says "authentication succeeded",
and instantly then hangs -- even before giving me an actual "Login" prompt.
Here's what I sent them:
Subject: [Mara] GlobalNAPS went down last night; need to make Cortel work *for me*
From: David Combs <dkcombs@panix.com>
To: support@panix.com
Date: Fri, 23 Apr 2004 15:50:38 -0400
Message-ID: <20040423195038.GA9685@panix.com>
Mara told me yesterday (email) that along with several
other panix-users, Cortel-lines (the normal panix dial-ins)
weren't suited, any more (since last week or two) for
dial-in by me, and that I'd have to limit myself
to the (few?) GlobalNAPS lines.
Problem is that early this am, somewhere between
2am and 4am, it ceased allowing me to login,
simply hanging after I responded to its "host"
prompt (I of course answered with the usual panix.com).
And without ability to dial in, no way to send email
to support, since I have *no* way to get into panix.
And, weekend is coming up, ie unattended panix.
THUS:
Whatever it is that makes Cortel unhappy with my
dialing-in, I *must* surmount it.
And only *you* guys can help me do that, by telling
me what to change about my configuration (Blade100,
solaris 9, coming in via Kermit (which I believe
is pretty full-featured with security-stuff, or can
at least probably let me use my own security-stuff, that
comes with solaris.)).
My suggestion is that sometime before 8pm tonight (when
I believe your final guy leaves for the weekend?), we
talk by phone while I try suggestions from you
and try to dial in via Cortel-lines.)
If needed, let Alexis at least know about this
suggestion. I mean, if there's *several* of us
having this Cortel-problem -- well, just how many
GlobalNAPS lines does he want to pay for?
Thanks,
David

Subject: (new to me) "TTS Authentication Succeeded" (or the like): then FREEZES (phone-dialin)
Date: 17 Apr 2004 17:34:08 -0400
For the last three or so weeks, I've been
dialing in through that "failsafe" line:
dial 17185042681
Today I tried dialing in through a "regular" line,
the one in yonkers:
1: yonkers: dial 2332064
, and when I did, I got this "TTS Authenticated Succeeded"
(or something close to that),
after which it "just sat there" -- and after a few minutes
of fruitless waiting, I did the abort (kermit) control-\,
and reverted back to that "failsafe" (my terminology) line --
which works fine, no authenticationo message.
Needless to say, I've received no login-message (in the last three
or so weeks) that said anything about this TTS thing.
QUESTION: any idea what it wants me to do, to be able
to dial-in and *log-in* via the normal phone-lines?
Again, I'm coming in through plain dial-in, NOT via
cable-modem and browser and then into panix.
Just a straight dial-in.
Thanks!
David

Some users have problems with the Coretel (xx64) lines.
If you don't make a successful connection on those lines
you should use the GlobalNAPS numbers (what you referred to
as the "failsafe" line).
Because dialup issues involve so many different variables, they
are usually better dealt with on an individual basis by email to
modems@panix.com. Using a newsgroup is not particularly efficient.

Does that stuff tell you *anything* useful?
Thanks!
