Hi all,

I've set up an elderly 386 as a dedicated slip terminal server,
and it seems to work admirably save for one small problem: I can
ping anywhere, but telnet and ftp (seemingly all things wanting
interactive logins) stop cold after establishing a connection.

There's a small grain of recollection suggesting I've faced this
problem before, and it was solved by some kind soul on the Net.
Trouble is, I've forgot the soul 8-)

Any help appreciated (I'll even volunteer to write a FAQ entry
if desired!}

thanks for reading!

bob
