I for one agree. I've gotten kicked off or failed to get logged in so many
times in the past few days, I'm almost preferring the computer labs to dialin.
My complaint is that, more often than not, I can't get into class V1 because it
says SERVICE NOT RESPONDING. But I know that the VAX is up because when I try
MIAVX1 I get SERVICE BUSY, apparently because those lines are once again more
stable. Then I'll call back and try V1 again, and it'll let me in (maybe).
Of course, I get kicked off unexpectedly (like I did a few minutes ago.. and
I'm tired of calling the help desk), get the silly ~'~' error, and everything
else too. I also love the one where you dial in and then have to sit there
hitting ; until Gandalf decides to listen to you becuase there are more than
eight simultanous users at the enter class prompt, or some such nonsense.
Okay, I'm done venting for now.
A very annoyed modem user.

How can you tell a chemical fire from an electrical fire?
With a fire distinguisher, of course!
