Thanks for the suggestions for trying to get the correct Telnet
protocol settings for candum.acc.umu.se 2001. It looks like
it may be a sort of hybrid Telnet server; it accepts terminal
type negotiation but not the other options. Is there a way to
emulate the way Unix and OS/2 Telnet client works for negotiation?
Set host with the /default or /raw option comes close but does
not echo the commands for this host. I also tried setting "refuse""
on every telnet option except terminal-type and that got around
the timeout but still does not echo or close the session properly;
the window stays open and there appears to be no way to return to the Kermit
command line once you've logged off. My feeling on this is
that unless you're trying to do something special (authentication/
encryption or something like that) the Telnet server's
implementation details shouldn't be needed, unless there's a good
way to find out what the other end supports.
