- > using 4.0a (net print, screenprints, ftps, rshs) except that it wont
- > telnet.
- >

- > you try to connect, or when you type "telent host" (where host is a real
- > host in the PCs hosts file), something quickly flashes by and then you
- > get nothing but a cursor on the beginning of line 4 or 5. CTL/ALT/DEL
- > works fine but nothing else.
- >
- > 3.5b telnet always did work fine. I commented almost everything out of the

- > Any fixes? Anyone have this problem or a problem like it? Any
