I have this working now.  (Thanks to the gentleman from sweden who
kept me trying til I got it right).  First, make sure you tredir as
root with the same TERMDIR.  I tried doing tredir with a setuid root
copy of tredir, and although it bound to the port ok, it wouldn't
complete the connection.

Next, it's "tredir 871 sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu:871" -- don't forget
the port on the remote end.  Next, make sure your supfile is looking
to sup from localhost, not sun-lamp.  If you get all that working, you
should be in "SUPper shape"!  (sorry :-)
