Subject: Help: TELNET negotiation in K95

I am having difficulties useing K95 as a telnet client to one particular
server, and am at a loss. I am posting what I have observed, in the
hope that someone else has run into this and knows how to correct it.
Although K95 (running on NT 4) connects properly to other sites, and
although I can use a UNIX telnet to connect to the problematic site,
here is what I observe in K95 (and in other windows-based telnet
emulators):
(1) Upon connection, I get the site's initial message, displayed
correctly, but with LF (Ascii 10) displaying without a CR; I am
prompted for a login. (The CRLF/LF problem is one I'll correct
once I have the connection problem fixed.)
(2) I try to type my login ID; the first character echos, and is
immediately replaced by a capital "N"--at this point, the server
issues an error indicating my ID wasn't long enough (i.e., the server
thinks I typed the first letter of my ID and hit Enter);
(3) Step two continues until the number of retries exceeds what
the server allows, and then the server closes the connection.
I have already tried several combinations of TELOPT and SET TELNET
and SET TERM settings; the result always seems to be the same.
I have already tried using terminal DEBUG to view the raw dialogue,
but see no telnet options as in the example in the book, although
I do see highlighted control characters for Ctrl-J, Ctrl-M and
Ctrl-I, which are just whitespace. I don't see any indication of
telnet Do, Dont, will, or wont exchanges in either direction.
I've observed the exact same effect in other Windoze-based telnet
clients which LACK the precise control K95 offers, with this site
and this one only. However, UNIX telnets (running on SunOS, e.g.)
connect to the site without any difficulty. I believe other
users have experienced a similar effect when they attempt to
connect from Windoze clients.
I have only a rudimentary understanding of the TELNET protocol
itself, but you don't have to frame your reply (if you recognize
this problem) in baby-talk. Kermit has such a rich set of control
options that there must be SOME way I can monitor and correct this
difficulty--or even accommodate a bug or mistaken assumption in
the remote site, if that's what this is.
Thank you for your kind attention. I hope someone recognizes
this anomaly and knows what is causing it.
