Environment: NCSA Telnet 2.3, Kinetics EtherPort SE, thin Ethernet to DESPR thick- to-thin repeater to DELNI multiple interface, Alliant FX/8 host (OS derived from 4.2 BSD Unix). Problem: Opening a connection to the FX/8 produces the appropriate window, with the "welcome banner," but the login prompt never appears. The connection exits less than 0.5 sec later. If ^C or ^S is typed before the connection exits, the window remains, still without a login prompt, and all characters typed are merely echoed back to the screen, with no noticeable change at the host. Solution: ??? Any help will be greatly appreciated. -- Kian-Tat Lim (ktl@wagvax.caltech.edu, KTL @ CITCHEM.BITNET, GEnie: K.LIM1)
