The remote system is apparently sending _only_ a [LF] character at the
end of the prior line. Tweak the settings on it to send a [CR][LF] pair.

"stty onlcr" may do the trick.

Thank you for the response.
I put "stty sane" in the user's .profile, and the problem after logging
in was solved. The problem still exist between connection and login, like,

GenericSysName [HP Release B.11.00] (see /etc/issue)
login: root
Password:
Please wait...checking for disk quotas
........ (indent will be to the end of last line)
# (no problem from this point)

I then added onlcr to the /etc/gettydefs file, the entry of which now
look like,

ult9600 #B9600 cs8 hupcl ignpar icrnl ixon opost onlcr cread
isig icanon echo echok istrip ixany tab3
#B9600 cs8 hupcl ignpar brkint icrnl onlcr ixon ixoff cread
isig icanon echo echok tab3
#login: # ult9600

but the problem after Password: and before # sign remains.

This is now confirmed to *NOT* be a KERMIT related issue. Recommend you
take it to an HP/UX admin discussion group.
