Sincere there are no publically available RS/6000 dial-up servers, this
advice won't be very useful to most people. One solution which will work
is to explicitly set the term/TERM shell/environment variables to
"vt200" on the Athena side, which will work on the DECstations. Since
"vt220" is a superset of "vt200", I believe, the terminal emulator will
still work just fine even if it's set for "vt220".
