Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -07001NCSA telnet doesn't work with path MTU discovery enabled. This is due to a
2bug in NCSA that also stops it working with other modern networking code
3such as Solaris.

8There is a fixed version somewhere on ftp.upe.ac.za (sorry, I don't
9remember the exact pathname, and this site is very slow from here).
10It may or may not be faster for you to get it from
11ftp://ftp.ists.pwr.wroc.pl/pub/msdos/telnet/ncsa_upe/tel23074.zip
12(source is in v230704s.zip). I have tested it with 1.3.79 (with
13path mtu discovery enabled - ncsa 2.3.08 didn't work) and it seems
14to work. I don't know if anyone is working on this code - this
15version is over a year old. Too bad - it's faster and often more
16stable than these windoze telnets, and runs on almost anything...
