----------------
It's a wierd place, not running Telnet. Port 5000 has some kid's toy
front end, with no Telnet negotiations. It wants a username formed whole
at the client side, ancient half duplex line-mode style. With junk like that
on the machine many Telnet based programs will experience the same rebuff from
design blunders on that linex3 site. Please tell the owners to fix their system
and things should be better.
