Thanks in advance! Telnet is incorrectly negotiating line mode; because it is supported is not a reason to negotiate it, unless your caccnonical processing is implemented at the correct level (the BeOS caccnoical processing is at the wrong level). You will need to repair the telnet client. Point them at the BSD sources (origincally from Cray) for telnet.
