Hello out there please help if possible:

	Has anyone had problems on the ibm ps2's or later hardware models
with the ctty command?  I have no problem on the zenith's running MS Dos
3.2 or the new Northgate 386 running 4.01.  I'm trying to find machines
that will implement this command successfully without locking up my machine
or the machine from whence the command was executed.  So far no true ibm
machine will successfully complete the command.  Is this an architecture 
problem with the ibm or a software bug in ver. 3.3?  Any suggestions
towards solving this dilemma would be greatly appreciated.  My main use of this
command is through the com port for remote operation via communications     
software, but this command will not work on a hard wire either.

		Thanks for you time.
