athena.dialup.mit.edu servers: Have they changed?

    When I have dialed up the  athena.dialup.mit.edu servers,
    e.g.,  LASAGNE, they have connected me to

            e40-008-4.mit.edu
            alfredo
            carbonara

   these machines have refused my login and password.
   I have been forced to specify "athena-vax.dialup.mit.edu"
     to get my login and password accepted.

   Are the servers affected with a program gathering my 
      login and password?  Should I change my password?
      For example, I went to my office and telneted to
      e40-008-4.mit.edu.  I didn't have any connection problems.

  What is UP?

PS.  I believe that e40-008-8.mit.edu has a bad telnet program.
     The telnet program won't execute.  I use the word "believe"
      because I have machine's name written down in my office
      and I am at home.  If e40-008-8.mit.edu is incorrect, I
      will send you the right name.
