 It's definitely strange. I get the "logging in as Poindexter Fortran"
 message in fixedsys, then it switches to a proportional looking font,
 looks like courier. My logon1.ans, logon2.ans, logon3.ans files
 stopped displaying as well - maybe because it doesn't think it's an
 ANSI any more?

 In the terminal server log, I see a log entry that shows the terminal
 size/type set to 80x25 ANSI.
