** Description changed: I work in networking and use telnet frequently. Most switches I telnet have very long configurations (+500 lines) which, in the case of Alcatel, are not divided by pages (like when you get "--MORE--" at the end of each page and hit the spacebar for the next page, just like when you issue the command "<command> | more"). What happens is that when it reaches the line 300-400 aprox. I get disconnected. This happens always, no matter what telnet client I use. I tried the following telnet clients: - "telnet" from the console - "putty" for linux (GUI) - run "telnet" from cmd within a VM. Tried both VMWare and VirtualBox. Why this happens? I can observe (comparing to Windows native) that the configuration is arriving very slow to my system when running ubuntu, as if I was limiting my bandwidth to 4800bps. A configuration of about 500 lines will take about 8-12 seconds to show on my screen, just before it disconnects, when on Windows it will take less than a second. My ubuntu release: Description: Ubuntu 7.10 Release: 7.10 Version of telnet I am using: telnet: Installed: 0.17-35ubuntu1 Candidate: 0.17-35ubuntu1 Version table: *** 0.17-35ubuntu1 0 500 http://ftp.hosteurope.de gutsy/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status + + UPDATE: A few days after performing the packet capture, I had to travel + to the place this switch was located. While on site, I had no issues + performing telnet on the switch. I therefore assume all this is related + to latency--a very small one, as we only have 13ms to this site. + + Its been several days since I posted this bug... why haven't I received + at least a confirmation that this is being viewed/processed or whatever? + + I really need this fixed if I want to keep this OS. Thank you!
