A fixed version you sent me before (that was exactly the same size as on 2.2.1) didn't fix the whole problem I'd say... are you sure it was the good telnetd you sent me? ;-) | I've never had this happen to me on my machines, FWIW. but you never used ncsa telnet?! ;-) does anybody know a better (free) telnet for dos maybe? (except from the part that I want to fix the problem so that I can use any telnet!) Paul
