• fidonet uplink gone awol

    From MeaTLoTioN@21:1/158 to All on Thursday, September 24, 2020 17:21:26
    Hey all,

    Dunno what's happened to my fidonet uplink, not sure where else to post... Vince Coen is my UK uplink, and since Sep 14 I haven't had anything from his system.

    Anyone else using Vince's system for anything and have received stuff since then?

    His system is often going offline and coming back days later, but this is the longest I think it's been "gone" gone, at least since I have been using it.


    Sorry to bring up non fsxNet related topic but I'm a little worried as I
    can't get hold of him at all. Hope he's ok.

    I have Vince as an uplink here as well. I haven't been able to connect
    either. If you would like a link, feel free to send me a netmail. I have multiple uplinks so it hasn't changed the flow here, other than a few file echos.

    I'm getting "connection to 2:250/1@fidonet failed: No route to host". That's making me think there is something going on with his provider.

    I just noticed this message come through from Vince:

    You may have noticed that this system has been down for some days- this was caused by a system reboot which then failed to find an existing file in the grup2 boot area.

    No still don't know but re-installed MGA v7.1 in a clean SSD so it involved adding a lot of packages from details in the original boot drive.

    Most are now installed but I have missed a lot out that hopefully are not needed :)

    OVer the next hour or less all outstanding files and echos will have been retrieved from all uplinks and tossed for your next poll.

    I may even poll you once these updates are complete.
    For the files I may have issues with the anti virus checks that may not be operational - no doubt will see soon enough.


    Vincent

    The offer still stands, if you would like a secondary fido feed.

    Same. I got an additional feed from BlackPanther (Dan) which is working wonderfully! Thanks Dan!

    Vince's system is still not connecting for me. Some REC huh?

    You're welcome.

    I think he's back up and running now. It sounds like there was some hardware issues.
