Brian -
	I had exactly the same problem connecting to a Sun at Cornell. I was extremely  
annoyed because it was a free feed and because it didn't work, I had to go  
through UUNET, which works. :-(
   I tried to work with NeXT Tech Support on this a *lot*, but we couldn't come  
up with a reason. It ain't parity, it ain't my modem settings and it ain't my  
script. It just seems to be some sort of hangup. I really hope NeXT and Sun get  
it right eventually.........
    Has anyone succeeded in connecting a Sun and a NeXT? If so, please post or  
reply with the system version numbers of both computers. It'd be much  
appreciated.
