Some kinds telnet daemon expert help me, please! I have not been able to quite successfully use NCSA DOS telnet with local FreeBSD hosts. It works just fine with remote (WAN link), but when I try to connect to a FreeBSD host on the local LAN, only cooked mode works. Connecting to SCO or other Unix hosts doesn't show this problem. I am using FreeBSD 2.0.5, but I have the lastest telnetd source from -current (to protect against the ENVIRON hole). The original 2.0.5 telnetd would do sort of random combinations of echo and block mode, but once I finally rolled the right dice, everything would work fine. The newer daemons get those options right the first time and every time, but never seem to do anything but cooked mode right (except, of course, when I connect remotely). The part about working right for remote hosts and failing for local hosts was the same, even though the failure modes are different... Since I am not willing to do all my editing with "ed," and since I can't use elm and lots of other things, I'd really like to get this working. Anyway, I thought I'd just go in and roll my own telnet daemon to hard-code the modes that I need, but I quickly got lost in that morass of timings and tty modes and telnet modes and what-not. Anyway who can help me, I'd really appreciate it... BTW, I did go looking for a different telnet client for DOS, but haven't had much luck there, either.
