Any attempt to rlogin to our RC2030's and M120's from any other machine causes us trouble. Telnet works adequately, but not perfect either. This problem exists if the user's shell is csh, /bin/sh seems to work okay. The trouble is difficult to describe. Basically, all command line processing is messed up. When pressing carriage return, we don't get a new prompt. After a command has executed, we don't get a new prompt. In fact, a great deal of the command's output is lost. If we enter a number of carriage returns in a row, the connection appears to lock up. This problem exists regardless of the type of machine we rlogin from. We have 386's running Interactive Unix 2.2, Sony News stations running BSD 4.3, Dec stations running Ultrix 4.1, MS-DOS machines running ftp's rloginvt program. In short, all machines. It does not seem to matter whether one uses /bin/sh, csh, ksh or bash on the non mips machine. Mips <-> mips works just fine (as you would expect). Any advice?? -Larry

I have found that when rlogin'd to RISC/os 4.51 and running csh with emacs line editing enabled causes the trouble I've described in the referenced article. If line editing is not enabled, then the problem does not exist. I don't want to suffer with the csh with no emacs line editing :-((( Any thoughts? -Larry
