Just for yuks, I just telnetted back to hal.acs.muohio.edu from miavx1 to see
what the messages were. I was able to get connections to v1, casnext, and
phoenix, but before the machines responded, I got
SERVICE NOT RESPONDING
SERVICE BUSY
n USERS WAITING
DO YOU WISH TO WAIT?
For v1, n is now 10. For casnext and phoenix, n is 0. The interesting thing
this time is the "partial" connection and the SERVICE NOT RESPONDING parts.
They did not happen before, and these messages came immediately; there was no
lag.
I hope this information is able to help you find the problem(s).
