Be sure that you mean what you say, that you are saying what you mean, and
that you know what you mean when making such statements, especially on this
list. glm is not in MASS, so perhaps you mean polr in package MASS. And no,
there is no big difference. You are doing something wrong.

Logistic Regression Model

lrm(formula = Sat ~ Infl + Type + Cont, data = housing, weights = Freq)

Re-fitting to get Hessian

Call:
polr(formula = Sat ~ Infl + Type + Cont, data = housing, weights = Freq)
