assuming that the pager can not be disabled per-tty, which i presume is
what the magic chant 'set output standard' does; teach fnlogin about the
pager.  but, fnlogin already has a case for the pager.  So, why is that
not working?

I'll bet its failing because there are control characters among the pager
prompt.  set NOPIPE=YES and collect from the device with fnrancid -d hostname
then look for the pager prompt in the hostname.raw file in your editor.  or
look at the debug output of fnlogin -d hostname to see why the match is
failing.
