The "hints" come from:
1) direct PPP packets -- PPP obviously
2) the user entering:
a) SLIP pseudo host -- SLIP obviously
b) PPP pseudo host -- PPP obviously
3) the user entering a DNS name and then his access ID and password
-- dumb terminal obviously
This scheme (in Merit RADIUS) relies upon the fact that we prompt for
the "host:" first and _then_ the "login:" and "password:" afterwards.
This is set up using the "set host prompt" command in ComOS (see page
5-11 of the PortMaster January 1994 manual). The "SLIP pseudo host"
and "PPP pseudo host" are documented on that page too. Gee... :-)
We don't do the rlogin stuff just telnet, PPP and SLIP (actually CSLIP).
