What program are you using when you get the prompt?  Are you using
CHAT?  Or are you using something like Minicom?  I'm going on the
theory that you are using a chatscript that doesn't have all the 
stuff you need, and chat doesn't take keyboard input.

Is this a reasonable guess?

Also, just for the hell of it, try typing your name as "remy%ppp".
I dunno if that does anything on acns-ts, but I've seen it work in
other places.  <shrug>

Or how about this guess:  broken keyboard.  :)
