I'm curious why the regular client doesn't like these devices... The manpage for telnet on my Debian box says '^]mode line' will put you on linebuffered mode. There's a whole lot of crazy protocol info in there, too, which might help work out why your telnet can't speak to the device. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
