- I just verified: there is no such behaviour in UCX 2.0, all three versions
- works
- telnet domain-name
- telnet domain-name port-number
- telnet numeric-address port-number
-
- What CAN happen: at the first attempt, domain-name look-up at the name server
- timed out. The next one, using the same name, succeeded.
- Did You VERIFY, that it is not just that case?
