I am subscriber to the student's internet. After composing a file, when i
press SEND, I get a message saying "disc quota exceeded". And then
"Message Sent Failed". please advice. Thank you,
Karn Bhardwaj

Hi,

for the xxxth time, disk quota exceeded means that the disk space
assigned to you is 'no more'. In order to get things running again,
remove some files you no longer need (or backup them and remove them
afterwards).

'man quota' and 'man rm' might give you some hints.

Ed, please ask those guys at vsnl to

[x] assign more disk quota to their users
[x] give them a short un*x howto before installing the account

just kiddin', norbert.
