I currently encounter a serious problem with emt.  If anybody thinks
that this is a current bug, please post a message on CSA.
Scenario:
I'm logging on to my school's Ultrix system from my workstation at work
via a Hayes modem. I am unable to use cu nor tip commands (i.e. the sys. administrator did not know how to set up the modem properly).  Currently, I am
using emt.
Problem:
Here are some of the problems that I have experienced:
-  If I donot use /com/vt100 before execute /com/emt, for every commands
that I execute, the commands will be echoed back to me and then excuted
by the remote host.  It is very annoyed at time .
-  If I go into rn (readnews), emt will act strangely.  I have to
press RETURN after every rn commands (like =, q, or n).
-  The readnews command q (for quit) is acting weirdest !  If I press q
and RETURN, it will terminate the current article, BUT at the same time,
it will go to the next article.  However, if I type "quit" and then
press RETURN, it will unsubscribe me from that newsgroup.
Questions:
Can anybody show me how to set up my modem so that I can use either cu
or tip to dial up to my school's Ultrix ?
Can anybody tell me what I have done wrong with my emt ?
I'll really appreciate any answers from any netters.
