I think the telnet is NCSA telnet. The messages which pop up in the messages window are as follows : DO Option TERMINAL TYPE (WILL) DO Option TSPEED (WONT) DO Option Unknown Option (WONT) DO Option Unknown Option (WONT) DO Option Unknown Option (WONT) I tried recompiling the kernel with TCP_COMPAT_42 as suggested by somebody, but to no avail. I then installed the 2.1.7 telnetd in place of the default telnetd, and that solved the problem. Does anybody have suggestions for solving this problem without stepping back to 2.1.7, and without changing the version of DOS telnet. The managers of the network are not willing to change the DOS telnet. Previous versions of FreeBSD and the same version of telnet have always cooperated in the past. The new telnetd (2.2.2-RELEASE version) handles telnet from other unix machines, and from windows and windows NT without any problem Mark --------------------------------------- This email address will vanish in a few weeks to avoid junk mail.
