  If the BSD site is calling you they need to set no parity. To do this
they include P_NULL in the L.sys dialog. Have them look it up, but
that's probably the problem if they're calling you.

  If they're getting logged in but can't do things it's almost certainly
your Systems file being too restrictive for their site.

	good luck!
