From: Ian AT kiwiplan DOT co DOT nz (Ian Collins) Subject: Revisited: echo when telnetting 8 Apr 1998 19:02:27 -0700 Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain To: "'Gnu Mailing list'" I have seen a number of postings on this issue. Most of them have mentioned that you need to turn on local echo when you telnet to gnu b19 (with inetd). OK, so what is different? I have various telnet clients on my desktop PC, namely, PCXWare, ttermpro, Reflection and one that I wrote myself. If I telnet to a Unix machine using any of these telnet clients, I see characters as I type them as one would expect. Indeed, I can telnet using these clients to many varieties of Unix, VMS, AOS, MPE with no problems. However if I use them to telnet to b19 (via inetd), then I don't have any characters echoed back to me. My natural summation of this is that the problem is with inetd or in.telnet in gnu b19 ??? Has anyone managed to overcome this problem transparently (i.e., not having to change the configuration of their telnet client)??? Ian Collins.
