Installed this on my NT 4.0SP3 workstation and ran into a couple of gotchas:
  - Telneting into your own machine appears to work correctly, but
telneting from some other machines (Suns running SunOS 4.1.3 in my
    experiments) did not echo terminal input -- commands only appeared
    after a return (you had to type blind). I compared stty -all outputs
    and did not find anything different. I also tried telneting from my
    PC to a Unix box then back to my PC; this also didn't work
    correctly. [Telneting from Solaris (5.5.1) does work correctly.]
  - stty rows x doesn't work. "Locally" (non-telnet), the command is
    accepted but has no effect (as indicated by a subsequent stty -all).
    When logged in through telnet, stty rows x gives "stty: standard
    input: No such file or directory."
