So, now knowing the problem was the Symmetric end, I reverted tons
of stuff on the 4.2-BSD NSC-32016 Symmetric 375 (
http://berklix.com/~jhs/symmetric/ ) to manufacturer's defaults, &
finaly standard rlogin to it worked from both FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE
& FreeBSD 6.1-RC, & stays logged in for days, no problem :-) Thanks Mike!
