(ASCEND) more stuff!



This happens whether you are using NAT or not.  I don't understand why,
but for some reason you can -ONLY- telnet to port 23 of a box from the
'ascend%' prompt.

If you try to telnet to port <anything else> you don't get any of your
keystrokes echoed back.

Example:

========

ascend%telnet some.host 23

Connecting to some.host (10.0.0.2) ...
Escape character is '^]'
Connected


SunOS 5.6

login: blah
Password: 
Last login: Mon Jul  6 07:31:53 from ascend.router.

=========




But at the same time....

=========

ascend% telnet some.host 25

Connecting to some.host (10.0.0.2) ...
Escape character is '^]'
Connected
220 some.host ESMTP Sendmail 8.9.0/8.9.0; Mon, 6 Jul 1998 08:00:18 -0500 (CDT)

(any keystrokes typed in are ignored, except of course the escape
character ^])

=========

This has been a persistent problem for as many releases of Ascend software
as I can think of but I haven't ever gotten upset enough about it to call
Ascend about it.

Does anyone know anything about this??
