This just depends on what it is you are telnetting to. Most other services
(inc smtp) don't echo keystrokes back to you. However, the connection still
works. Turn on local echo if you want to read it....
The exact same behaviour occurs on a windows telnet, and it is not a bug.
Most unix telnet programs switch to line-by-line mode if you telnet to
anything other than port 23, which is why you get characters echoed back. MS
Windows telnet and the telnet program on the ascends do not, and rely on the
host at the other end to echo characters back. This does not happen with
most protocols.
