[comp.sys.xerox] TCPCHAT to Cray Unicos ?

rkf@isew01.UUCP (Raymond Fink) (01/29/88)

We've been trying unsuccessfully to TCPCHAT to a Cray XMP/24 host running
Unicos 3.0 (Cray's UN*X lookalike).  FTP connections seem to work fine, 
but CHAT seems to get hung up in the TELNET negotiations, and never echoes
our login (as well as mangling the login id/password).  We added a
(254 WONT WONT DONT DONT) to TELNET.OPTIONS as a guess, but that hasn't
completely solved our problem.  Setting NETWORKLOGINFO to NIL doesn't 
help either.

Does anybody have any clues to solve our problem?  (BTW, we are running Lyric)
A TELNET trace is included below.
