Actually, it is you who are correct. While my discussion and the resulting tests were good for intellectual debate, they did little to further answering the problem correctly. You have stated correctly that "no exec" will work exactly as advertised for *reverse* telnet connections only. Since my CS516 uses a combination of forward and reverse connections, it was not practical for me to use this methodology. Oh well, that's what you get for making a post late at night when you are tired :-) The two replies that stated the reverse connection was made to the wrong line are likely the root of the original problem. v/r, Paul Werner > So, you are correct in what you say - but I think the most often the > problem > being addressed is that the line is reported as in use and the user > isn't > the one using it ________________________________________________ Get your own "800" number Voicemail, fax, email, and a lot more http://www.ureach.com/reg/tag Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=2591&t=2591 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
