- And I wonder if this is related to the intermittant problems I
- have with Telnet. Sometimes we have a pair of machines that cannot
- talk to one another via telnet; either machine can ping the other
- so I *know* they have a working physical connection, and either
- machine can operate via telnet with *every other machine* (here or
- thousands of miles away) that I try. The problem seems to be
- related to initial protocol negotiation.
-
- What's even stranger is that if I am trying to open a Telnet session
- and it's not working, I can open a second ftp session to the same
- host. Not only does the ftp connection work *fine*, but once it
- starts the problem with the telnet session suddenly goes away by
- magic!?!?
-
- The host involved is a Silicon Graphics workstation running
- Irix 4.0.1 System V; the clients are Macs running NCSA Telnet
- and MacTCP 1.1 (I know there's a newer version out, but thanks
- to Apple's ridiculous new license policies we *cannot* afford it).
