tramp questions

[Michael Powe <michael+gnus@trollope.org>]

i have a situation similar to one mentioned in earlier posts.  the
account requires a login of the form 'user@host.com' and this doesn't
seem to work correctly in ange-ftp. 

i installed tramp and verified that it works by editing a file on a
system where the login is a normal 'user' + password login.  when i
try to use tramp on the above-mentioned account, it sits for a long
time and then times out with 'login failed.'  however, if i look at my
buffers, i see a login buffer for that account:

 *  *tramp/ssh trollope-l.net*	140 Fundamental	

Last login: Sat Feb 28 13:04:43 2004 from 69.177.32.186.adsl.snet.net

(Linux 2.4.20-28.7~trollope-l.net) [tr0921ea] [  ~] 

 1001 $ --> 

 *Messages* shows the message "Sending password" repeatedly before
  'login failed' (sorry, it has scrolled off the top of the buffer, i
  can't get the exact verbiage).

But wait, there's more.  if i use the ftp method:

/ftp:trollope-l.net:test.txt

tramp connects, but then immediately tries to make another connection
to 'ftp' as 'anonymous', which errors out.  however, i found that the
file requested in the first place is loaded into a buffer, but the
buffer is buried.

*ftp tr0921ea@trollope-l.net@trollope-l.net*

so, basically, the ftp login is working, sort of, but something is
going haywire in the ssh login.  i tried setting tramp-debug-buffer t,
but nothing shows up there past 'sending password.'

tramp version 2.0.36.  i went to savannah but the directory for the
distributed version (followed the links) is empty.

thanks.
