Note that the -8 option tells rlogin always to use raw mode, and thus makes ^S/^Q virtually useless. Nor should any of this be necessary: rlogin has built in a protocol by which it can detect that the remote machine wants an eight bit data path, and will switch in and out of raw mode as appropriate. Unfortunately, the 4.2 rlogin (on which the Sun 3.0 rlogin is based) is largely broken. Install the 4.3 rlogin, with the 4.3 rcmd.c, on the Suns. -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Univ of MD Comp Sci Dept (+1 301 454 7690) UUCP: seismo!mimsy!chris ARPA/CSNet: chris@mimsy.umd.edu
