Hi,
    First, this is a 6150-135 running AIX 2.2.1 with a baseband adapter
and appropriate VRM driver installed. The network works when I rlogin out
of the machine and FTP out of the machine, but I have encountered some 
problems trying to use the network into the machine. Specifically rlogin
and ftp.

1. rlogin -- Coming from a VAX running BSD4.3, the terminal information
seems to get hosed. All my pts's are defined as VT100, the BSD csh has
the TERM=vt100, and the appropriate termcap=. When I rlogin to the RT and
try to use vi, I get 'Don't know enough about your terminal'. I have tried
setenv TERM, and I know I configured the pts terminal type right. Telnet
into the machine set's everything up correctly, why doesn't rlogin?

2. ftp -- Probably configured wrong ( I don't know much about it). I can
ftp to the machine, and issue one (1) request. The machine will honor the
request (get, put, ls, etc...), but any subsequent requests yeild an error
concerning access to sockets. I think it's "can't create socket, permission
denied". (Oh, and there's a large number in the error). Anyway, it means
that mget or mput both fail after the first file goes across. It's a real
pain. 


I'd appriciate any comments.

Peter
