Hi FreeBSD experts,
I wrote a VERY simple telnet program that actually works as a Network Virtual Terminal. It is achieved by sending "WON'T XXX" to all "DO XXX" server requests. It should work according to RFC-854, page 4: "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." It works with Unix, Linux, Windows, Cisco, but not with my FreeBSD: after a while it stops sending anything. This is the attempt trace:
Internet Protocol, Src Addr: 10.1.1.223 (10.1.1.223), Dst Addr: 10.1.1.222 (10.1.1.222)

Can you tell me why it does not work, and what can I do to make it work?
Thank you for all hints!
