Any attempt to rlogin to our RC2030's and M120's from any other
machine causes us trouble. Telnet works adequately, but not perfect
either. This problem exists if the user's shell is csh, /bin/sh seems
to work okay.

The trouble is difficult to describe. Basically, all command line
processing is messed up. When pressing carriage return, we don't get
a new prompt. After a command has executed, we don't get a new
prompt. In fact, a great deal of the command's output is lost. If we
enter a number of carriage returns in a row, the connection appears to
lock up.

This problem exists regardless of the type of machine we rlogin from.
We have 386's running Interactive Unix 2.2, Sony News stations running
BSD 4.3, Dec stations running Ultrix 4.1, MS-DOS machines running
ftp's rloginvt program. In short, all machines. It does not seem to
matter whether one uses /bin/sh, csh, ksh or bash on the non mips
machine.

Mips <-> mips works just fine (as you would expect).

Any advice??
