Ryacas starts up yacas with an initialization file R.ys which puts the server in a mode which outputs XML (which is what Ryacas reads). It does that by specifying --init /whatever/R.ys on the yacas command line when it is run. You can run yacas without that init file or you can just enter into

You might try posting your problem on the comp.os.linux.networking group since it appears to be a configuration problem with telnet on your machine. If all else fails, you can try using the system method of connecting to Ryacas discussed on the Ryacas home page.That is not ideal since it will
