Hi, Thanx for the impressive welcome, Terry. Yes, I might be wrong; however, in this case, please interpret the following quotation from RFC854, page 4: "In summary, WILL XXX is sent, by either party, to indicate that party's desire (offer) to begin performing option XXX, DO XXX and DON'T XXX being its positive and negative acknowledgments; similarly, DO XXX is sent to indicate a desire (request) that the other party (i.e., the recipient of the DO) begin performing option XXX, WILL XXX and WON'T XXX being the positive and negative acknowledgments. Since the NVT is what is left when no options are enabled, the DON'T and WON'T responses are guaranteed to leave the connection in a state which both ends can handle. Thus, all hosts may implement their TELNET processes to be totally unaware of options that are not supported, simply returning a rejection to (i.e., refusing) any option request that cannot be understood." Might be you who don't understand? If I was wrong, how is that all other platforms supported the way I used, except FreeBSD? Fuzzy, isn't it? So, the question is still not answered.
