Our group has a PC clone with an Excelan EXOS 205T ethernet board installed, 
running Excelan EXOS 8051-01 rel. 3.2.3 TCP-IP software.  The system seems
to run correctly in that it will FTP to any type of host system; VAX, Sun,
etc.  However, in attempting to TELNET to a Sun system, one gets a "Connected
to..." message, but no login prompt.  We've tried connecting to all sorts of
combinations of VAX/UNIX and Sun/UNIX systems, and only the Sun/UNIX
combination refuses to offer a login prompt.  These same systems allow FTP
perfectly.  Again, we've tried Sun SPARCs, 386's, all with the same result.
If anyone could offer a suggestion, it would be most appreciated, as we seem
to run into a brick wall.  Feel free to post or e-mail as you see fit.  Thanks.
