You have incorrectly negotiated "line mode" on the NCSA client telnet. This may be related to NCSA using option WILL/WONT/DO/DONT ordering to attempt to determine if the telnetd is a 4.2 (broken OOB channel) or 4.3 (fixed OOB channel) and it guessing wrong. Update your NCSA telnet client to a more recent version. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
