I have set up a firewall using FreeBSD 2.0.1 and fwtk.

When connecting to the firewall from either a 
SCO or BSDI machine, I can connect and authenticate ok. When I say 
"connect foobar", the telnet proxy hangs forever.

On the same ethernet are 2 SCO machines. One has an older version of SCO -
that machine can get in ok. The newer version of SCO hangs.

Telnetting in from a Sun or FreeBSD machine works ok.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

  Joe
