   What happens with a bare "rsh" command, that is, without
the "dir" command?  As I recall, with a command, you don't get
a chance to give a password interactively, so if you don't
have a Communication Proxy, you can't get in.

   Do you have an RSH _server_ running on the Windows system?
Apparently not.  I believe that this message is equivalent to
the usual UNIX "Connection refused".

   As above, no comm proxy, no password, no good.

   TCPIP HELP CREATE PROXY
   TCPIP HELP ADD PROXY

(Or read the manual.)
