It's stranger than that. I had an account at "sdf.lonestar.org" a
year ago and it worked just fine then with the Arachne telnet APM.
No problem whatsoever back a year ago.

But about six months ago the Arachne telnet stopped working there.
Just like your experience--I could no longer see the login prompts.
I had an active connection (you can send a query with telnet, it's on
the menu) but I couldn't see the prompts. Don't know why it stopped
working at "sdf.lonestar.org". 

I can get the Arachne telnet client to make connections and login
elsewhere, just not at lonestar.

I sure would like to know why. But I'm clueless.
