The system is supposed to close the connection after seeing "RLOGIN."
RLOGIN means "Remote Reject After Login."  This can happen for any number
of reasons, however the most common (with HoneyDanBer) is that the
remote system doesn't have you specified in their Permissions
file.

The system is expecting "OK".

The table of messages that are expected, and what they mean.

	LCK 			Locked System (they're already talking?)
	LOGIN			Remote reject after login
	CB			Callback (security)
	You are unknown to me   Local isn't in remote's Systems file
	BADSEQ			Bad Sequence
	OK			Everything is OK

	Anything else will give you "UNKNOWN RESPONSE" and close 
	down the connection.


Hope this helps!
