One hunch is that we're receiving telnet breaks (iac brk), which the 4.3bsd telnet server turns into the dump core signal (SIGQUIT). So, the question is, "Can a telnet break be sent from a tac and, if so, how?". I haven't found much information on tacs (any suggestions, I've tried rfcs and nic tacnews), but tacs do use "@" as an escape character (which has caused grief when users try to send mail to say, user@colorado.edu). Is there a tac escape sequence for sending the telnet break; eg, @b? Thanks, Ron Stanonik stanonik@nprdc.arpa
