I've been trying out a couple of telnet implementations recently and have had
problems with both. The first is NCSA telnet on a Mac SE with a Kinetics
etherport. The second is the version of telnet supplied with PC-NFS V3.0.
The hosts are microvaxen running Ultrix (V2.0 and V2.3). Everything is on
ethernet with class-a addressing. In both cases, telnet will eventually
hang. This usually happens when running something which uses screen-addressing
in vt100 mode. I haven't had the patience to see if it recovers - it takes
a lot longer than 11 seconds. It looks like Ultrix may be at fault here,
although telnet works fine between the vaxes.

Anyone else had this type of problem?
