  I've found a very strange and unberable thing.  When I telnet a host which
is installed with NetBSD 0.9, no input can be entered.  After some diagnostic,
I found it's due to flow control problem.  When the telnet send binary to
remote telnetd, the daemon toggle flow control off and never on again.  This
prevent telnet to send any chars to telnetd.  It's not happened all the time
but once ten times or so.  To use rlogin has not such problem.  Is there any
telnetd patch available?
