I find that 2.2D NCSA Telnet works perfectly with SCO Xenix TCP/IP
1.0.1h on version 2.3.3 Xenix.  However, the beta version of 2.3
Telnet behaves as described above.  I have been suspicious that it is
due to the particular version of packet drivers (ne1000) that I am
using.  I'd really like to upgrade to 2.3 because of the Kermit-like
ability to redefine the keyboard (I really hope they carry it further
than they have so far, though).

Anyway, anyone know anything more about the login problem on 2.3?
