(I've removed comp.emacs from the newsgroup list)

We find that when doing "SET HOST" from a VMS machine (up through VMS 4.4)
to an Ultrix 1.2 machine, we need to SET NOCONTROL = (T, Y) and also
SET TERM /NOPASTHRU/NOHOSTSYNC/NOTTSYNC -- to prevent the VMS terminal
driver from interpreting control characters that we want Ultrix to see.

I haven't bothered to figure out why, but doing the above turns out to be
a bad move when doing SET HOST between 2 VMS machines.  (Things like command
line editing stop working).

I've tried "stty raw litout; dlogin vms_node", but it behaves the same as
a plain old "dlogin vms_node".

Running tcp/ip on the VMS side works a lot better.  Too bad tcp/ip isn't
a DEC layered product for VMS.
