Do you mean the 33?

One Unix feature seems to be gone by now on the systems that I use.

It used to be that if you typed your username and password in all
upper case, then the system would log you in, and convert any input
to lower case, though you could escape any letter to allow for upper
case when needed. Many TTY models were upper case only.
