>Number: 3608 >Category: bin >Synopsis: Telnet in linemode will break apart long lines. >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: low >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Fri May 16 16:10:01 PDT 1997 >Last-Modified: >Originator: Eric Yagerlener >Organization: None >Release: FreeBSD 2.2.1-RELEASE i386 >Environment: FreeBSD 2.2.1-RELEASE PPP internet connection MTU 1500 >Description: When telnet is operating in the line mode, the maximum lenght of a line is 106 charecters. Any part of a line longer than 106 charecters will be sent as a different line. This problem will be apparent on many MUD's which require telnet to operate in linemode. BSDi used to suffer the same problem in the 2.0 release but was fixed in 2.1. This problem is also present in MUD clients from the ports collection. >How-To-Repeat: Connect to a MUD, such as sleepy.net port 5000, and key the following as one line.... The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. This will interpret this as... The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. The quick br own fox jumped over the lazy dog. >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
