[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] tn connect closed

lee@locus.com (Lee Slaughter) (04/04/91)

On a foreign site, over which we have no control, people
need to telnet in from here. An irritating problem
that sometimes occurs is "Connection closed by foreign host"
right after the login screen (on foreign site) appears.
Frequent retries then usually succeed.
(debug output shows nothing except some terminal negotiation)

I know there are many things (on the foreign site) that can cause this but 
what can we suggest to the administrator of that foreign site
in the way of configuration things to check there. I
don't know of any way we can tell from here.

Please e-mail me as I can't usually keep up with this group.

thanks.............
