566.2Keep tryingSALEM::MACGREGORI'm the NRA/GONH/NAHCThu Nov 30 1989 17:564
    When there are too many people in the firearms file, which is usually
    the case, you will get that message. Just keep trying until you
    get into the file. Sometimes it takes quite a few tries.

566.3just try againCHRLIE::HUSTONThu Nov 30 1989 18:388
    
    I get that message alot, it seems to come back instantly, as in to fast
    for it to have really tried to connect. When this happens, I just try 
    again, right away, and I get in.  I believe if there are to many people
    connected you get a msg about network objects or something.

    I've experienced similar problems in the past and sometimes the
    problem might be on your end or even somewhere in the middle
    (network wise).  If you can't get on after repeated tries, give
    the guy responsible for your node a call.  There may be something
    he can do.

    P.S.  Check if there are other conferences (nodes) that you can't
    reach.  If there are, chances are the problems are not with firearms.

    I tried about six or seven times in quick succession, and finally
    got on.  Thanks for your help.

    There is a limit on the number that can read the firearm note file.
    Thats why you have to keep on trying.....

I really think that there must be another reason: I frequently have this problem even 
at 1-2 AM New Hampshire time, and I'm sure that the system isn't swamped with
link attempts at this time!

    		I have trouble from Boxbourgh, and when I try from home.
    	If you try the repeated commands you can get in eventually.
