[net.lan] MIT PC Telnet problems

karn@mouton.UUCP (Phil Karn) (07/18/84)

A number of us here have just started using the MIT TCP/IP Telnet package
on the IBM PC for Ethernet terminal access to 4.2BSD machines. We have all
been encountering the same problem, which can be mighty annoying: periodically,
the program will exit with the message "Closed: Host reset". This usually
happens when nothing has been typed on the terminal for a while, but it
also happens when typing away normally (but in this case it is usually
preceeded by cecessation of echo.)

We have the sources, but I'd like to know if anyone else has encountered
and fixed this problem before I delve into the bowels of this code.

Thanks,
Phil Karn
