I use three different terminal programs to connect to bulletin boards
and two different VAX computers.  I have been experiencing problems
with my terminal locking up on one of these VAXES.  The lockup always
occurs at the same place in the login procedure and happens when using
the uniterm (v1.2) program or the VT52 emulator accesory.  The only
program that avoids this lockup is STTALK.  After the serial line
locks up, neither the emulator.acc nor uniterm will communicate with
it any more.  However, STTALK will work even after the other programs
have locked the line, without hitting the reset button.  The other two
programs will no longer communicate with the serial line without a
reset.

The problem with STTALK is that it eats up the screen (I lose four
lines) and it does not support KERMIT (of course neither does
uniterm).
