Does apple have any plans to solve the problems with logins to
the aux support server via the internet?  The following attempt
was via a cisco router.  logins via telnet or rlogin from a local
unix host demonstrate similar failures.

CDCN>>aux.support.apple.com
Translating "AUX.SUPPORT.APPLE.COM"...domain server (129.24.8.1) [OK]
Trying AUX.SUPPORT.APPLE.COM (130.43.6.2)... Open

login: aux

No shell

I know I can spend money with the phone company and dial long distance
or I can log into a machine where I pay for connect and cpu time
for my internet access then pay for connect and cpu time to kermit
the files to the machine where I live.  Life would be much easier
if apple would support logins via the internet.

Hi I'm still having difficulties accessing aux.support.apple.com
Several weeks ago I complained and Antonio said he would get everything
fixed up in a couple of days.  Several days later I asked again and
he said he had to recompile a bunch of stuff because of shared library
problems.  It's still broken!

I am trying to come in via a Cisconet Terminal Server.  This will be much
cheaper for me.  Won't have to pay for connect/cpu time to ftp stuff to a near
by host, then pay connect/cpu time to kermit the stuff to my system.  Could
also get into spending lotsa money on long distance charges.  Best solution
for me would be if you could fix things so I can log in as regular user
via the terminal server to browse and log in via the terminal server as
for uucp for file transfer.

Have tried telnet and rlogin sessions.  They also fail in a manner similar to
the following:

FYI,  Here is the terminal server configuration.
