This is the behaviour I observed when telneting from a Mac or PC just
after I installed DECnet/Ultrix. The problem was the gateway version of the telnet daemon that is part of DECnet/Ultrix. After complaining to DEC about
it, they came up with a new binary. Works fine now. The interesting thing was
it only asked for the login prompt twice when telneting from a Mac
or PC (NCSA Telnet) - but not from a Unix box or VMS (CMU-TCP).
