[comp.unix.aix] Can't telnet to a Risc-System 6000/530

fredrick@acd.acd.ucar.edu (Tim Fredrick) (03/05/91)

Regarding a Risc-System 6000/530 (AIX3.1.3002).

We are trying to install an Emulex terminal server into our environment.  It
seems to be able to telnet to every machine except for our IBM Risc-System
6000 320 and 530's all running AIX3.1 pl3002.  The connection gets
established but then there is not response from the IBM.

Is there a known problem with telnetd under patch level 3002?  Are there
any other things I might try?  I have an ethernet monitor on a SPARCstation
and can look at packets -- the terminal server and the IBM seem to be
exchanging packets okay.

Thanks.

We've had similar problems (connect ok but no response) using WinQVT/net
( a TCP/IP package for PC's running windows/3 ). Yet we can still talk
to all our other machines with the same software (and we _can_ ftp
to the rs/6000 using winqvt/net)

Thanks to all of those who responded to this post -- I'm amazed at the
usefulness of Usenet.  Anyway, to summarize all of the replies, yes there
is a known problem with telnetd under AIX 3.1 patch level 3002 *and* 3003.
The solution is to get a copy of telnetd from patch level 3001.  I will
provide one via anonymous ftp from acd.ucar.edu (128.117.32.1).  Thanks
again.  --Tim
