   What version of Syncterm are you using? I may be using a older version and my   
   SSH is working fine here.

   That is why I switched to using SSH. Some of the issues that only happens when   
   I am using Syncterm is it will loose the mouse pointer and the login macro   
   stop working. The only to fix it the issue is to restart Syncterm.
