1) Valdis is not in any way involved in the administration of the
   Buffalo Relay.

    I don't think I ever said he was.  The original questions were meant for
    him or any of the other ops that might be of assistance in my questions.

The only reason you'd get the message "RLY NOT LOGGED ON" is if
you were sending to a userid of "RLY".  Check your names file
and make sure you're not accidentally sending to RLY@CORNELLC,
which doesn't exist anymore.

   One mistake on my part here...the message I would receive says...
   "Relay not logged on"...I deleted Cornell relay from my names file when it
   went down for good last year.

   Actually I have a question about my names files as it pertains to accessing
   relay..here goes.. :)

   In my names file here on my VM account I have the following....

   nick.vtbit     userid.relay     node.vtvm
   nick.masrelay  userid.relay     node.ubvm

   By using my names file I could access relay by using XYZZY or using the TELL
   command.  Either way would work for me.  When I would use the TELL command
   all I would have to put in was "TELL vtbit /signon and no problem.
   When it comes to MASRELAY, if I try and use the TELL command in conjunction
   with my names file and put in "TELL masrelay /signon", that is when I get
   the message "relay not logged on".  But if I use the TELL command and type
   out completely "tell masrelay at ubvm /signon", I have no problems.  Also
   I can't use XYZZY for MASRELAY.  I get the same message "relay not logged
   on".  This is so strange because everything works fine with VTBIT relay and
   when I used to use Cornell relay.

   I know this is a bit long winded..(no comments now) :) but if anyone has
   any answers for this I would be glad for the help.  Thanks a bunch.
