Login Failures

Starting this afternoon I have experienced a large number of login 
failures. The Demon terminal server does not echo the host name I send 
after the login: prompt and never continues to prompt for password:.  It's 
happened over a whole range of terminal servers and if NET kept a log of 
such things, I'd know them now, but I've seen this on London vPoP, London 
tPop and Luton vPoP phone numbers.

I've tried adding a 3 second delay between the terminal server sending 
"login:" and my script actually sending my host name, on the theory that 
perhaps the terminal server was not really ready to receive the id when it 
prompted for it, but I am not convinved that this has helped.  It 
certainly has not completely cured the problem.

I'm using DIS for DOS, but I do not believe that this problem is platform
specific.

Anyone else had this same problem today?

Regards,
