- 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?
