Both the problem and the solution to it are NOT unique to Apollo, although
it does appear to be related to non-HDB systems calling into a BSD environment,
but none of that matters.  If you simply have the calling party add a \n to
the end of the password in their L.sys file, that will fix the problem.  It
would appear that without it being there, it doesn't do a NEWLINE at all, and
therefore just hangs.  In other words, if the chat script is doing something
like:

..... in:--in: foo word: bar

just  change it to be

..... in:--in: foo word: bar\n

	And ALL WILL START WORKING miraculously.  Or else I'm wrong.  Please
drop me a note via email and let me know if it cures the problem for you, or
if I'm off-base.


					Good Luck,
