[Aren't you hungry...?]

	You can't disable logins on a port under VMS.  We had a similar
problem using Novation smartcats, and eventually replaced those with
smartmodems.  In any case, the gist of the problem is that you

	a) don't have /HANGUP set on the modem line on the VAX w/ VMS

	b) don't have both carrier detect and DTR wired.  If these are
		wired correctly the VAX will hang up after a bad login,
		which eliminates the ping pong condition.  It may take a
		few trys, but it sounds like the problem is the modem cable.
