It just seems a > little more sensible to me (if anyone will ever use GO WHO...) Your inexperience is showing ;-) Actually, it is one of the most popular services at Chebucto. I Thingk users check it and if one of their friends are online, they pop off some email, usually guaranteed to get a quick response. And there have been many requests to extend it to include "who's on line" other Community Nets. It is one of the new features David T. has introduced. Unfortunately, I got a "500 Server error" when I tried it. (on to some more debugging ;-) We do have a bit of a problem with it, however. It will always report "No modems in use" because it cannot (yet) detect the number of modems in use on the Terminal Server in Windsor. The Terminal Server itself is not a "csuite-user" so it does not count. This problem also affects the Time Quota system (% of modems busy will always be 0 or 100, depending on the connection status of the Terminal Server) and System Statistics reports (go systat - network detection is also failing). Dialup Usage statistics, which is supposed to be reporting on the use of your modem/dialup lines, will also only report on the connection status of the Terminal Server (the 'tty' specification in teh configuration file was wrong, so whatever shows there now is really bogus).
