If you were Registered and logged in, you could reply and use other advanced thread options
On RH-E-WS-3, using the telnet server supplied,
a password that contains the pound sign, '#',
does not gain access. The same password works
for other logins. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mike.

Do not use telnet. It is highly insecure. Anyone in the world on the data
path can read off your password.

I don't know about Red Hat, but see this BUGs section from IRIX's getty:
BUGS
While getty understands simple single character quoting conventions, it
is not possible to quote certain special control characters used by
getty. Thus, you cannot login via getty and type a #, @, /, !, _,
backspace, ^U, ^D, or & as part of your login name or arguments. getty
uses them to determine when the end of the line has been reached, which
protocol is being used, and what the erase character is. They will
always be interpreted as having their special meaning.

Can you enter a comment, i.e. "# This is a comment.", in the shell? If
not, then probably one of the tty's control-characters is set to '#'.
See stty(1) for details (assuming RH is standard compliant).
