Is this host on the public Internet or behind a firewall?
If on the internet please post the host.domain or IP address and
port number.

sounds like the host is negotiating BINARY mode. Or is at least
using BINARY mode.

no clue
: (3) Step two continues until the number of retries exceeds what

Are you sure this is a telnet server?
What happens if you instruct K95 to use raw mode
SET HOST <host> <port> /RAW
: 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

: 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

: 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.
I think you will need to provide more information about the host
before we will be able to proceed.
