- As long as you use the 'f' protocol and rlogin, this seems to work fine.

The f-protocol is (relatively) worthless on dialup lines as it was designed
to work over error free links.  Also, most old SystemV (and 4.1 < bsd)
systems don't support 'f'.

What do you mean rlogin?  All terminal server's I've seen use the telnet
protocol over TCP as opposed to rlogin.
