                     60: .SH BUGS
                     61: \fIvt\fR and \fIvtd\fR need to be brought up to date with BSD 4.3(4?)
                     62: TELNET.
                     63: .PP
                     64: The encodings of the VT PDUs may need to be updated when 
                     65: the International Standard version of ISO 9041 is available.
                     66: .PP
                     67: When an association is established,
                     68: a possible bug in the PTY driver on systems derived from Berkeley UNIX
                     69: may cause the \*(lqlogin:\*(rq prompt to be lost.
                     70: The \fIlogin\fR program is still running,
                     71: the user need only type-in the username or hit RETURN for another prompt.
                     72: .PP
                     73: Due to a possible bug in the PTY driver on systems derived from Berkeley UNIX,
                     74: it is important that the responder always run detached from a
                     75: controlling terminal.
                     76: Since the repsonder is invoked from \fItsapd\fR\0(8c),
                     77: this requirement is passed on to the \fItsapd\fR program.
                     78: Thus,
                     79: when running the VT responder,
                     80: it is \fBcritical\fR that \fItsapd\fR be started under
