we've got a few nexts up and running at my local private college,
but our sysadmin is a nazi and a mac addict. it's taken a year to
get the next's connected to the vax, but the networking is pitiful.

anyway. i have no trouble with telnet or rlogin out of the next to
anywhere, including recognized hosts from the vax machine. but reaching
the next is another story. no matter what i do, i doesn't seem to
recognize my remote terminal. it logs in far enough to tell me i have
mail, then hangs and disconnects. i've checked the terms on the next
and played with tset, but i'm not a real hacker, so i'm lost. my
brilliant sysadmin recommends looking up 'terminal' and 'shell' in
the digital librarian.

can anyone else be more helpful?
please mail replies

thanks
