After searching through the FAQ list, and what back postings I could find here,
it is hoped that the following remedial question will be somewhat tolerable:

1)  Are there any characeristics which can be modified in the login?  Here,
    after one failed login attempt, there is a pause of up to two minutes
    before the user is prompted again for a login name.

    There is, however, a 'login' prompt which  appears on the screen but
    doesn't seem to accept any input, and a 5 sec or so delay before another
    login prompt.  After two or three minutes, the login routine seems to
    reset itself and the login seems to work fine.

What I suspect is happening is that the OS is going to different port 
settings/characteristics from gettydef after the failed login attempt perhaps?

Comments appreciated.
