The debug window says that the connect is successful and then in the title-bar of the window the first line of the BSDI 2.1 banner is displayed. It never gets to a login or a Terminal Type prompt. None of the account on that machine is set to prompt for a terminal type. All the different tries including yours with changing the shell account and/or configuring to prompt, etc have resulted in absolutely no change of behaviour. Greetings Serge
