I changed and "resolved" the problem that cause the delay today.  Most
all of our users come to us from the Maryland Sailor system, so their
address was in the host table since this connection does not have DNS.
 
 
My concern about MPE/iX 5.5 inbound telnet is the fact that users will
get a "colon" prompt once they get through.  Is there some feature in
5.5 that will "minimize" the security risk.  If not, I would just prefer
to keep using NQtelnet for this application.
