We just installed a LINUX box along with our NT server and our BBS box
on a TCP/IP network that is working just fine.

The challenge we just encountered with LINUX is:
All of the terminal programs that telnet into the LINUX box do not
do a carriage return at the system prompt.
 They do a line feed
                     so you get this
                                     kind of stuff.
But everything looks and works okay on the system console and on the
BBS console. profile is set for vt100 and once ANY of the users switch
into the pine editor, all the vt100 codes work fine. But trn and tin
won't do the carriage returns.

So, what i see is that some of the apps work on some stations and pine
works on all.  Any suggestions? 
                               I hate reading
                                             like this
                                                       my neck hurts!
