Why not a bit more confusion ...
We have a 520 which was recently upgraded to 3005.  Our rlogins seem to fine,
(I don't we use telnet or ftp very often), BUT we have PCs running FTP Inc.'s
PC-TCP software to NFS mount parts 520s file systems which CRASH our IBM.
My co-worker is talking to FTP to figure out what the problem is, it may
have something to do with symlinks.  I suspect there is also something wrong
on our 520 - it should NOT CRASH, and running the same thing on the PC and
mounting from our Personal IRIS does not CRASH it (it generates a few NFS
errors, but it still works).
