A common terminal server brand, running old software will accept LQR negotiation but won't always respond to LQR requests. So few implementations actually default to LQR on, or even support LQR this was never seen as much of problem.

If so, they upgrade for this and other reasons. > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > |Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software | > |http://www.gsoft.com.au | > |The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to| > |choose from. -- Andrew Tanenbaum | > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > Tom
