	I have a NeXTstation (running 2.2) in my office and also an account
on one of the computing centre's Suns. 

	When I telnet from the Sun to my NeXT, I run into terminal emulation
problems.  For example, 'ls -al' produces the following display...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
% ls -al
total 3
       drwxr-xr-x  3 me          1024 Jun 11 01:30 .
                                                    drwxr-xr-x  3 me    
     10
24 Jun  9 23:40 ..
                  drwxr-xr-x  2 root        1024 Jun 10 15:46 .NeXT
                                                                   %
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

	It looks to me like the newline function is not working properly. 

	I should add that this seems to only happen in line mode when I'm
telnetting from the Sun to the NeXT.  When I run full-screen commands
like emacs, everything's fine.  When I run Terminal on the NeXT,
everything's fine.  When I telnet to the NeXT from my Mac everything's
fine.

	What's puzzling is that I've been telnetting from the Sun to other
machines for a long time and I've NEVER observed this before -- so it
makes me think the problem lies with the NeXT.

	I'd be very grateful for any suggestions here.  (My only access to
the NeXT from home is by dialing up the Sun and then telnetting -- so
I'm really needing to solve this problem.)

	Thanks.

	Michael.
