The 386BSD telnet server implements line mode, and there are a lot of telnet clients which are not prepared to correctly negotiate the telnet options and behave accordingly. Anyway, that's the direction I would start looking in. Some of these problems can be cured by setting the telnet client in character-mode, which of course defeats the purpose of telnet line mode. - Havard
