Sorry for the somewhat rampant crossposting, but I'm not certain where this goes. There seems to be a significant problem with the Gandalf data switch this evening (10:00 pm, 3/21/95). If one is able to get a modem connection, classes v1, phoenix, and casnext all respond with SERVICE BUSY n USERS WAITING DO YOU WISH TO WAIT? Where n is some number, depending on the chosen above service (3, 0, and 0, respectively when I tried it). However, class miavx1 allowed an immediate connection. In fact, that's what I'm using now. I thought the SERVICE BUSY happened only on class miavx1, and never the other ones. Am I confused here? Could someone explain why this is the case? Other statistics that might be of use. As soon as I connected, I checked the following systems and found their usage to be: Machine Number of Users ======================================== miavx1 96 users (118 processes) miamiu 110 users, 0 dialed, 4 net (whatever those last two mean) phoenix 5 users casnext 8 users What this seems to mean to me is that the data switch is unable to support the number of modems we have, or the individual machines are "maxed out" with the above connections (or close to them). This is very odd to me. Can someone shed light on this? Or is this just another symptom of the problems MU is having with the Gandalf? Thanks in advance, Aaron -- Aaron D.
