Using ssh through ISDN line]

[gaf at blu.org (Jerry Feldman)]

I don't believe that UMass Boston has an ssh server connected. While I 
don't have an account, I just tried to ssh to UMassBoston:
fluid:/usr/users/gaf [3%] ssh cs.umb.edu
Connection closed by remote host.

One the ISDN line, try doing an ssh to any host where you know there is 
an ssh server:
eg. world.std.com
If you get a prompt, you can assume that the problem is with UMass not 
your ISDN connection.
