I just spent 45 minutes on the phone with SCO Tech Support because their Telnet and Rlogin programs do not pass Ctl-S transparently. The conversation finally got to: SCO: "you can't do it". Me: "So it's a bug?" SCO: "No it's not a bug. A bug is when the software doesn't meet the spec" Me: "So it was spec'ed incorrectly?" SCO: "No, that's the way it was spec'ed to be" Me: "But it doesn't work correctly" SCO: "Yes it does. That's the way it was spec'ed" Alas... -- There's sparks a comin' outa' my head!!! Evan B.

They just don't have the authorization to fix it unless they can convince their managers that the spec is wrong. So, keep those letters coming... -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' peter@ferranti.com +1 713 274 5180. 'U` "Have you hugged your wolf today?"
