One problem is, apparently SCO's rlogin and telnet demons will die horribly
if a "suspend" character comes across the line.  As shipped, this is a
null (^@) character and you can trash your session by typing a control-space
on most workstations.

To avoid this, "stty susp '^-'" in your .profile or /etc/profile if you're
telnetted in.

This sounds only vaguely like your problem though.  If it doesn't apply,
never mind.
