Simple and to the point here. After initial install of Linux-Mandrake, Telnet worked fine. However, after updating it via Mandrake-Updates, it appears broken and won't provide a user login and password screen... only tells me that the escape character is ^] Why would I need an escape character when the updated telnet doesn't provide me something to escape from? (Forgive me for humor... but it's a good way of maintaining your sanity!) Anyone got a clue as to what got changed, which causes Telnet to do something like this? What am I missing??? Thanks in Advance Kurt
