OK, further testing, I can't get the below rlogin "trick" to work on a
1.3.22 machine, the one it worked on is actually a 1.3.12 machine. so,
with 1.3.12 I can get it to work by forcing a password entry, but this
appears not to work with a 1.3.22 machine........
continuing more confused than ever...
