Hmmmm... well, if the same bytes are sent by both clients, then they 
should have the same result, right?   Perhaps the EBCDIC -> ASCII 
translation between the two programs is different, and it's causing a 
different result?  This would only be an issue if the userid/password 
contains "unusual" characters.

You'll need to verify that the same physical bytes are sent over the 
network are the same -- by that, I mean the actual binary values (and I 
don't mean that they just "look" like the same letters on the screen)

That's about all I can tell you.  Unless I can reproduce the problem on 
my end, there's very little else I can do.
