No, the telnet session does not hang. What happens here is the telnet client (vt220 emulator) is set irreversibly into no-echo mode. You can issue commands and everything works normally, except you don't get to see any output. The output is received and silently discarded. Looks like a client bug. Some hosts trigger it, others don't. You can get round it by always using 'screen'. -- adam@veda.is
