have you tried disabling some of the extended tcp options:
net.inet.tcp.rfc1323: 1
net.inet.tcp.rfc1644: 0

try setting 'em both to zero and see what you get... I have to disable

IRC, these term servers are known to throw fits with some of the extended
tcp options...

hope the above helps...  ttyl.
