Do you eventually get the login prompt?  I have seen this type of thing happen
when telnetting to Suns from a machine whose IP address cannot be resolved into
a name using a DNS lookup.  Basically, if I am telnetting from 128.112.129.118,
the machine I am telnetting into cannot get an answer when it tries to look up
118.129.112.128.in-addr.arpa in the domain name system.  Might this be the
problem you are having?
