While we're talking about DECservers..
 
I'm using a 90M for console access - there are telnet 
port listeners defined for direct access to each port 
(security isn't a concern right now).

It works just fine, except for one thing: staircasing,
and the odd dropped character after power cycling the 
device attached to the port.

Disconnecting and reconnecting the telnet session fixes 
the problem, but it's annoying to have to.
 
Any idea why it does this?
