Yes,
I understand that this has to do with the Target machine failing to
reverse resolve the ip address that you are telnetting from ... it
eventually times out and lets you in anyway - look at /var/log/messages on
the target - you will see that the log usually shows names (fqdn) for
telnet sessions.

I have the same problem AND also a problem where my SCO box prints to a
Linux (5.0) box -> it pauses every 5 or 10 lines....... I will get DNS
working
instead of just using host files, and see if that works?
