Well, sure, it's true that it will want to negotiate a TN3270E session, but that doesn't mean it is supposed to malf if your telnet client (for any reason) refuses to go along. It may be that it is too aggressive and isn't ending negotiations properly, but is going into a WILL/WONT/DO/DONT loop. When combined with a telnet client suffering the same form of dementia, an infinite loop is quite possible, chewing up all sorts of CPU. Who knows. Use ethereal or whatever on your PC to see if this is the case. > >> The other day someone used the TELNET command from a command line prompt > >> to attempt to connect to our 2074.

BTW, issuing the telnet command from a command line prompt does not necessarily limit it to linemode. The CMS TELNET command is a TN3270-capable command line client.
