With Telnet you're just emulating a terminal also. Either way, when you type "ping" the ping packet originates from the device that is hosting your terminal session. He seemed to think HyperTerminal was causing a problem when he typed "ping" into the HyterTerminal window. Whether you're using RS-232 or RS-422 or Ethernet, and whether you're using HyperTerminal, a virtual terminal, VTY, Telnet, a Teltype, or one of those old DEC VT100 terminals, the result is the same. Each character is sent to the host operating system (IOS in this case) and the operating system acts as if you were typing directly into it. The ping gets executed at the host (router) when you press carriage return. Probably a carriage return/line feed is sent to the OS. Then the ping message is sent from the router. Sorry but I'm irritated by all this. ;-) We got way off base by pointing out that HyperTerminal can do Telnet too. I'd forgotten that you could do Telnet with HyperTerminal, admittedly, but my reaction is Whoopee! What does it have to do with the problem? His original message talked about asynchronous serial stuff like setting the bit rate and number of stop bits. Then he launched into a discussion of Ethernet hubs. Hello? Did he eat too much Halloween candy? Or did I? ;-) What does he actually have connected in his lab? How can we help without knowing that? _____________________________ Priscilla Oppenheimer www.troubleshootingnetworks.com www.priscilla.com > > HTH > Bill Creighton CCNP > Senior System Engineer > Motorola > iDEN CNRC Packet Data / MPS > > > -----Original Message----- > From: The Long and Winding Road > [mailto:groupstudyspamtest@;cl.cncdsl.com] > Sent: Thursday, October 31, 2002 4:09 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Problems w/Hyperterminal??
