There is an explanation for this: The Ohio server sends single LF's instead
of CR/LF's. Most telnet are happy with this and display CR/LF. The telnet
specification says that both CR and LF are required to indicate a new line.
VAX and CUTCP telnet are perfectly right if the display single LF's if they
receive them. I don't know about VAX telnets, but I remember that CUTCP
telnet has an option that tells it to diplay CR/LF. (with Alt-something
you see a screen where you can change the options - ask one of your local
gurus to find out more)
