Thanks - didn't think of that test.
If I press enter, nothing happens. However, I get a response using a get:-
telnet www.bulletproof.net.au 80
Trying 61.8.3.162...
Connected to www.bulletproof.net.au.
Escape character is '^]'.
get
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<TITLE>501 Method Not Implemented</TITLE>
</HEAD><BODY>
<H1>Method Not Implemented</H1>
get to /index.shtml not supported.<P>
Invalid method in request get<P>
</BODY></HTML>
Connection closed by foreign host.
I'll keep on testing this and tcpdump. Any other ideas would be most welcome.

what happens if you telnet to the following places and hit enter a few
times
telnet www.bulletproof.net.au 80
telnet melbourne.cache.telstra.net 3128
telnet melbourne.cache.telstra.net 8080
does it just hang, do you get a reponse back or conection refused?
