 I found that it's not just that simple.  I use a `figlet` logo in my
issue files, and the "/etc/issue" has to have all '\' characters
doubled up, while the "/etc/issue.net" does not.  "/etc/issue.net" can 
also contain a few special characters as well, supported by telnetd.

 Here's what mine look like, in case anybody cares:  (if you have
XEmacs and VM-6.30, they'll be easy to extract.)

Attachment: issue
Description: /etc/issue

Attachment: issue.net
Description: /etc/issue.net
