Your xylogics terminal server has a broken TCP implementation, it can't
handle transaction tcp apparently.  You can turn off tcp extensions,
but I'd send them a bug report with a tcpdump of the conversation and
explicitly note that you are sending a SYN packet with data and a FIN.

  Hi,
  
  It seems that finger is broken (partially) in this SNAP.
  
  I cannot finger my Xylogics Remote Annex 4000, but other hosts seem to work.
  
  I receive :
  
  [annex1.fl.net.au]
  finger: read: Connection reset by peer
  
  However, telnetting to the finger port works fine, as does running finger on
  a 2.1.0-R system.  I have run the 2.1.0-R binary on this SNAP and it works
  fine (and does not have the Connection reset by peer error).
  
  The finger output is quite long for that site - feel free to try it out
  yourself.
  
  Thanks,
  Andrew
