Hey guys,

        Daniel Gruhl called in from the Edgerton Center (8-6844). He 
said that when he logs into his DEC through the serial port, on anything 
but 9600 baud, he gets garbage characters after the login. He says that 
he spoke to a DEC support person at 3-6320 and that they said that there 
is a bug in the Athena login. 
        The fix is to use an Ultrix login and then to do a kerberos 
ticket authentication using renew or one of the other products. David 
needs to know what to patch in to get things working correctly. He is 
best reached by email (druid@athena.mit.edu).

Thanks
