Subject: Telnet From Xterm to Host Is Dropped By Host Immediately

 An Xterm tries to telnet over to a 3B2/600 host running SVR3.2.1 and
WIN/TCP 3.0 - as soon as a connection is made, it is then dropped
(apparently) by the host with the following error message:
"Connection closed by foreign host"

 Is there something that needs to be done to hosts, networks, services,
etc. that I am just completely ignorant about.  RTFM?  Which FM?

 This enigma was posted to comp.sys.att so if any of you know what's
happening, a crossposted reply to that group might be appreciated by
those who shared my problem.
