[NTLUG:Discuss] Mandrake 8.1 telnet mishmash

[Bug Hunter]

  Hmm.  that fixed it for me, took all day to read enough to try that.
There is also a gnome telnet client in Mandrake 8.1 which did not have
that problem.  It took a while to find it, within the KDE install.

  How old is your telnet server?  I think that may be the "source" of the
problem.  My telnet server was on RedHat 6.2, but had been upgraded due to
problems that allowed it to be cracked remotely.
