Off Topic Telnet problems

[Guy Templin]

In a rush to get the workstations back up. Right after I posted I found the
solution. Sorry for not including more info at the time. 

It was a slow day for filePro anyway, I at least got some action on the
list.

THANKS for all that responded.

Guy, why did you omit telling us what version/release of whose Unix you
have?

And if it is OSR 5, doesn't TA 105544 have the answer, which is just as
Bill recalled?
