This is especially strange, since I can talk to CLI, and then telnet to any machine other than a MIPS, and it works fine. > Does anybody else use an Annex with a MIPS?

It worked under 4.20, but broke under 4.50. I put in a service call. I think there's a bug. I don't know about the CLI problem - we just rlogin/telnet to the mips from the annex, but it may also be related. You might want to call the hotline as well. I only put it in last week, perhaps if there's enough interest we'll see results faster. -- Dave Goldberg UNIX Systems Programmer/Administrator The Mitre Corporation MS B020 Bedford, MA 01730 617-271-2460 Domain: dsg@mbunix.mitre.org UUCP: linus!mbunix!dsg
