Disabling the routed and gated seems to take care of the kernel message. I'm
still not able to connect to my other FreeBSD box via telnet, FTP, or anything
else for that matter. The rest of the world, no problem...

When I connect to a site other than my remote server and do a status command
in telnet after connecting I see:

LINEMODE
Local line editing
Local catching of signals
Special characters are local values
Local charactor echo
Local flow control

While I connect to my site without getting the login prompt and do a status
command is get:

LINEMODE
No line editing
No signal catch
Special charactors are local values
Local charactor echo
No flow control

I guess since the connection really isn't complete, certain things aren't
passing through. Other than that, I have no idea why this is happening...

I'm planning on passing this thread to the guys at questions@freebsd.ORG
to see if they have any insight on this.

Thanks
Bob
