Hi,

I'm an Athena user (mphurst@athena), and I telnet in a lot from my current
location (mhurst@hns.com).  The problem is, even though I type 

   /usr/athena/bin/zwgc -ttymode

I can't receive zwrites.  znol runs marginally well (it gives me the report
of who is on initially but does not tell me when other people have logged 
in or out), but I absolutely can not receive zwrites.  (People can write
or talk to me, though.)  

I have used 18.71.0.18 and 18.71.0.19 (I think that's e40-008-7 and 8), and
the problem is the same on both of them.  The times and dates have generally
been anywhere from 8am to 3pm for the last few weeks, and never once have
I been able to receive a zwrite.  And yes, my terminal type is set to
vt100.

What is the problem?
