Two healthy, Siamese cats(sisters) will be 3 years old on April 1. 

FREE to a proper home. These cats are spayed and declawed 
Although declawed,  they enjoy spending time outdoors--
albeit spent close to home. Being Siamese they are 
somewhat tempermental but do enjoy sitting on your lap
and sleeping on your bed. One of the cats is rather dark
(chocolate point) and the other is light (seal point). 
They do not have papers but are pure Siamese. 

The chocolate point's name is Wu and the seal point
is named Wai. Wu Wai is a Taoist doctrine that proclaims
enlightenment through the initiation of no action. 
 
If you are interested in these cats, please contact me

Hidey-ho.  It was suggested that I post this here.  Please send any replies via

I'm running Waffle on a PClone, trying to connect to clout.  My dialing script
gets to the CONNECTED, and then no matter how I bang /r/n combinations, I never
get any farther, and I certainly don't get the 'cc-tip>' I so yearn for. I've
got a PPI 9600SA modem, running V32/V42/V42bis, but not V32bis.  It always
works if I do it manually via a term program, except for once when it would
stop at the CONNECTED, but I'll be darned if I know what register/AT
commands/etc were different.

Any help would be appreciated from someone who's done this setup before. 
Please send mail, or even a voice number would be cool.  I'm a bit leery of
posting mine here in chi.general, being a newbie and all.

Thank you for any help,

There's several systems on the internet that offer free usenet accounts
(nyx, to name one), but I don't think that is what you mean. Both gagme
and ddsw1 are in Chicago proper, and gagme only costs 50 bucks per year.
If you're on a budget and don't mind waiting a few days for messages to
arrive (or, if you don't like your company's weird attitute towards news
access), then a public access system is a great bargain. PV

If this has been in the last week, then you're not the only one.
I poll clout at 6pm and 6am every day for my news.  Recently, I was
going through the logs and noticed a lot of "ERROR: chat script timed out"
problems with clout.  So I waited around and let it happen again.  It did,
and I ran uucico manually several times at debug level 10 (shows you
everything but the kitchen sink).  The same thing was happening as
you describe above:  it connects, and that's it. No cc-tip> or anything
else.  I tried it manually, using a terminal program, and it still
was screwed up.

I tried 5 minutes later and it worked.  Then I tried 5 minutes after
that and it didn't work.

EIther there is an intermittent modem problem over there (like one of
the modems isn't connected to a computer and everyone forgot about it
and if you connect with that modem you end up talking to /dev/null)
or the school is doing work on the system over break.

Can maybe postmaster(.of-the-month)@clout shed some light on this?
And maybe some other sysadmins check their logs to see if their
systems have had any of the same problems?

Subject: RE: The Windy City

A few weeks back someone posted asking about the nickname "The Windy City."

I saw this in the Dec. 20, 1992, issue of the Sun-Times --

"The Windy City"

There's an ugly reason why Chicago is known as the "Windy City."  It's called
New York City.

When Chicago -- hardly America's windiest city -- was vying to become the site
of the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, its chief rival was New York.

Newspapers in each city tried to present well-reasoned arguments touting their
town for the fair.

In Chicago, for example, one newspaper said New York shouldn't get the fair
because it's "the meanest city in America."

For its part, New York mostly treated Chicago like lint.

New York Sun editor Charles Dana, portraying Chicagoans as loud, self-promoting
blowhards, told his readers to pay no attention to "the nonsensical claims of
that windy city.  Its people could not hold a world's fair, even if they won
it."

Of course, Chicago did win it, held it and lived happily ever after, as did
the name "Windy City."

My newsfeed site has had numerous news problems.  I did manage to
arrange an alternate (hopefully temporary) feed, and news is flowing
now, and has been the last couple days.

News is typically very sparse this time of year anyway.

They're on sale at Ace Hardware now for $34.95.  That's a great deal
since it includes all the optional tips, a wire stand, a carrying
case, and a soldering tip sponge and bowl.  

Radio Shack has the iron alone for $34.95.

 I got a propane one for Christmas last year and like it a whole lot
better that the battery ones.  Radio Shack carries it.

|     Excuse me Jack, but you're wrong, wrong, wrong.  Greg has switched
|     to vpnet for a newsfeed while nucsrl recovers from whatever is
|     ailing it over the holidays.  Gagme is getting everything we're
|     getting and judging from past experience, this is a normal holiday
|     slump.

Note that Jack posted from ddsw1, Gerry, and it may have been several days
since his last check-in on gagme.  Gagme did go dry for a couple days, and
that's why Greg asked you to feed news again, but Jack's last information
may have been from the dry time on gagme.

|     No one at vpnet is complaining.  I suggest you ride it out.

No one at vpnet was complaining because nucsrl's outage didn't affect vpnet.
No one on gagme is complaining any more (nor is anyone on ddsw1, because Karl
is getting a temporary feed from mcdchg).
