I'm a big fan of Cygwin and all, but it sounds like your direct problem is ProComm Plus and its lack of rlogin support. Since you are setting up a Cygwin environment somewhere, are you allowed to try alternatives to ProComm Plus such as PuTTY? It's a great terminal program with support for telnet, SSH, serial, and rlogin. http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ Of course, if you are allowed to use Cygwin at all, why not use it directly which you say works for rlogin? -Jeremy -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
