[HECnet] PyDECnet

[Thomas DeBellis]

I am very much inclined because it is very much annoying.  llogin does 
work against Tops-20.  Almost.

llogin will sometimes work, often not, but almost always (and often) 
fails without any sort of message whatsoever.  "Sort of" is very 
generous, indeed, Johnny.  You're just silently put back into the 
shell.  Unforgivable.

The only way to get to the bottom of it will be to attach a debugger and 
see what's happening.
