Hi Sorry, probably it's not a telnet bug, but let me ask since it seems redhat distributes it's own version of telnet. I can't login to the host 217.21.95.36 with telnet. Remote host breaks connection a second after "Login:" prompt appears. To solve this problem, I've managed to comment line 2170 in telnet.c like that: // send_will(TELOPT_LINEMODE, 1); Is it a bug in remote implementation or other issue of telnet protocol?

well, telnet wants to negotiate with the remote host, if LINEMODE can be used. Seems like 217.21.95.36 does not like that negotiation. So the bug is on the remote site. $ man telnet ... Once a connection has been opened, telnet will attempt to enable the TELNET LINEMODE option. If this fails, then telnet will revert to one of two input modes: either ‘‘character at a time’’ or ‘‘old line by line,’’ depending on what the remote system supports. ...
