I tried the development systems LOGIN and TSMON commands and they seem
to work fine when used with /TERM so they definitely aren't the old level
I commands. As I have mentioned before, my system crashes periodically
when I'm running various terminal programs and I am beginning to think that
ACIAPAK is the common factor. I can (somewhat) reliably crash my system
by flipping a switch on my modem which causes it to act as if it's
receiving a stream of characters and then just arrange not to keep up with
the incoming characters. I think there must be some problem with the
buffering logic in ACIAPAK.

While there may be *NO* problem with tsmon and login there most certainly
is a problem with something if having your modem echo characters can
crash your system. I made a similar mistake and indeed my system crashed.
Overruning buffers should hang the application, not crash the system!
