Hi,

  I have a special situation where I want to have the Sun Sparc-2 running 
SunOS 4.1.1 to be a telnet server front end to a mainframe telnet server.
But I only want to login once, so I have to find out how to disable login
banner & all from the front end telnet server, so that the telnet connection
goes all the way thru, then the mainframe generate a login banner instead.

  Is it possible:

  (1) In SunOS 4.1.1 ? Without getting the telnetD code & hack it, by just
  fixing the inetd.conf or ttytab or whatever?

  (2) In 386BSD (BSD 4.4 or 4.3?), by changing inetd.conf telnetd to include
  argument "-a none" ?

  Thanks for any information.
