First of all, you should probably subscribe to bsdi-users@bsdi.com or read the newsgroup info.bsdi-users, your problem was discussed there several times already. Not to your problem: I guess you are telnet-ing from a machine with an old telnet implemention to the BSD/386 machine, so the old telnet doesn't handle the LINE MODE negotiation correctly. Possible solutions: 1) Use rlogin instead of telnet 2) get newer telnet on the other machine 3) compile the telnetd on BSD/386 without -DKLUDGELINEMODE -- Ralf Gebhart IRC: Snake Mail: Ralf.Gebhart@E-Technik.TU-Muenchen.de / Snake@isar.muc.de
