- hmm...
-
- We're running an IBM 4381 and have recently installed TCPIP for MVS V2R2.
- The Telnet server in this package *refuses* to do any echoing regardless of how
- the telnet client begs for it during the initial session negotiation.
- Goes like this:
-
- Telnet client MVS Telnet Server

- According to the appropriate RFC:s (as i understand them), an orthodox Telnet
- server is not required to supply echo but other Telnets i know do so anyway,
- worse, a lot of our users expect us to supply echo.( hiding passwords also
- becomes a problem if the client has to supply a local echo). Is it possible to
- do something about this?
-
- Thanx in advance
