I checked the scrollback buffer, and the username is being sent in lower
case. Again, the same script works when run on a 95/98 box but not on an NT
box. I believe the host system is an IBM AIX. I ended up using the OUTPUT
command in order to get my script working on both boxes, but of course, it's
not encrypted in the script (but that really doesn't matter here, since
nobody can get at it here in our offices). The host system states that the
password is in upper case, and that that's why it's failing, but only when I
run the script on our NT box. On my 98 box, I get right in. If you want me
to, I can send you the script.
