I tested it and noticed that it was throwing an exception (in a Win32 debug 
build) due to a variable being used without being initialized. Are you building 
the code yourself? Anyway, I made substatial changes to this over the past 1-2 
days and suggest you get the latest development build and use that (or get 
latest source from CVS) - it's working fine for me.

You'll need to reverse the order of the 'name' and 'pass' arguments however. 
RLogin doesn't actually have a 'password' as part of the protocol, but 
Synchronet does support it if it's in the *first* string passed upon RLogin 
connection (which correlates with the *first* argument to bbs.rlogin_gate).
