Tony,

we have exactly the same problem, and I confirm it didn't happen with
g1emm 1.6.

Rlogin is one of the 'r' utilitys from BSD unix networking programs. It is ala
telnet but has some features in telling the server your login name and terminal
type so that if your *NIX hosts has a .rhosts file you can just login without
entering username and password. (use this only via direct connect , trojan horse
via "ethernet" (ether net). So it is of limited use in the ham land but i use
it at home and thats why it stayes in (others use it as well i heard.)

The split screen comes in action when you do a ttylink to somebody else.
The telnet port 87 sest a split flag to newsession and splits the
screen i 2 parts, The upper for what is received, the lower for what you
are typing. What you have typed and send out is added to the top part in
hi-lighted so that you see what you have typed. I kept telnet "normal" as
that is often (in nos always) used for mailbox comm. There you don't want
the split (also "normal" systems assume a single screen.)

There you hit one of the limits of the PC. It gets too large. I did not find
yet as where it blows. Sometimes it compiles sometimes not. I only copy the
PPP code from Phil or its originators but have no means (and time) to check
it. Just "as is"....
