This supports my contention that Windows' telnet client is not robust enough for use in a production environment.
[Ad] Anzio, in this situation, will properly close down the host connection before quitting. In addition, it can be configured so that it is not possible (short of Task Manager or reboot) to quit from the client side. This then coerces the user into exiting from the menu system on the server, clear out to where the telnetd or sshd closes the connection. Then the client side (Anzio) reacts to this and quits. It avoids a lot of problems. On Tue, 12 Apr 2011, Curt Stewart wrote: > Thanks to all that have replied.
