Dear notesfile users and usenet system administrators: I have been observing three problems resulting in duplicate message traffic: (1) I have heard of the (nf) duplicate note generation problem, and thought that a fix had been announced; if this is true, someone is not playing with the updated version, since we still have duplicate messages being generated (2) multiple/redundant paths of message forwarding (possibly a holdover from earlier routing fixes to avoid some previous site outages???). (3) duplicate newsgroups have been created, apparently from a problem in submitting to groups with long (incorrectly truncated?) names. I believe that this info is accurate - I took a short vacation, and my accumulated mail has these properties. Examples follow for the first two problems, I think that the latter bug has been noted and is under repair (?yes?). Would the involved parties please take a look at these problems and figure out a solution? Thanks in advance (but hopefully not *too* far in advance). not afraid to sign my name, not afraid to sign my name, not afraid to sign my name, not afraid to sign my name, Robert Duncan Bell Labs, Chicago ihuxx!robert1 -----DUPLICATE MESSAGE #1----- From: ihps3!houxi!npois!npoiv!alice!physics!gill Date: Thu Oct 7 17:33:23 1982 Subject: Re: question on 2-wire phone connections - (nf) Newsgroups: net.dcom #R:mh3bs:-18500:physics:15700002:000:422 physics!gill Aug 31 20:31:00 1982 -----DUPLICATE MESSAGE #2----- From: ihps3!houxi!npois!npoiv!alice!physics!gill Date: Thu Oct 7 18:04:16 1982 Subject: Re: question on 2-wire phone connections - (nf) Newsgroups: net.dcom #R:mh3bs:-18500:physics:15700002:000:422 physics!gill Aug 31 20:31:00 1982 ----- -----REDUNDANT ROUTE #1----- From: ihps3!ihldt!ll1!otuxa!we13!lime!orion!deimos!ariel!vax135!floyd!harpo!npoiv!alice!physics!gill Date: Thu Oct 7 18:32:31 1982 Subject: Re: question on 2-wire phone connections - (nf) Newsgroups: net.dcom #R:mh3bs:-18500:physics:15700002:000:422 physics!gill Aug 31 20:31:00 1982 -----REDUNDANT ROUTE #2----- From: ihps3!ihldt!ll1!otuxa!we13!lime!houti!ariel!vax135!floyd!harpo!npoiv!alice!physics!gill Date: Thu Oct 7 19:32:15 1982 Subject: Re: question on 2-wire phone connections - (nf) Newsgroups: net.dcom #R:mh3bs:-18500:physics:15700002:000:422 physics!gill Aug 31 20:31:00 1982 As explained in a recent fa.telcom, some touch tone phones have bridge rectifiers on their line inputs. The other possibility is that your phone did indeed get zapped, but was wired differently than the replacement. This is very unlikely. The classic touch tone syptoms of reversed polarity is a slight click and perhaps a little "squeek" tone instead of the usual prolonged blast. Gill Pratt ...alice!gill OR gill@mc -----
