I'm looking for a solution to a wierd problem I'm having.  (I have a
call in with CDC Support on this). 

Whenever a user with a WYSE 50 terminal logs into our Cyber (running
L750AB NOS/VE) at the end of the user prolog a set of strange and
unusual characters are sent to the terminal.  On normal terminals, for
example PC_Connect_20's, these characters are not seen and probably set
up some features on the terminal.  On WYSE 50's this causes the terminal
to have a soft lockup.  (It can be removed by resetting the terminal
without losing the connection).

It's annoying.

I checked through $SYSTEM.PROLOGS_AND_EPILOGS.SYSTEM_PROLOG as well as
the users' prologs and could find no source for these characters.  I'd
love to disable them.

Has anyone else maneuvered around this problem or have any pointers for
me?    

Thanks a lot for your help.

Later,
