If so, try doing the below commands (as root) and see if it helps. sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.rfc1323=0 sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.rfc1644=0 If it does, then change the line in /etc/sysconfig which specifies tcp_extensions to NO, ie: tcp_extensions=NO Then, go complain to whoever built your terminal server and tell them to get with the program and write software that conforms to standards. :) Nate -- nate@sneezy.sri.com | Research Engineer, SRI Intl. - Montana Operations nate@trout.sri.MT.net | Loving life in God's country, the great state of work #: (406) 449-7662 | Montana. home #: (406) 443-7063 | A fly pole and a 4x4 Chevy truck = Heaven on Earth
