SLIP version of Telnet always hangs...

Hi there,

Sorry for the crossposting, but this is kind of related to both
sections...

A few days ago I finally found the cisco version of NCSA Telnet that
works with SLIP (or at least it almost works...).

My problem is that I can open a connection, logon to a Unix machine
and type a few commands, but all of a sudden the connection hangs (no
echo of my input and no output).  It always hangs when I issue a
command that should give more than a few lines of output (like an 
ls -l in a directory with about 20 files).  Sometimes it even hangs on 
a command that gives only a few caracters of output (like pwd).

I tried it from home on a 2400bps modem and I saw the recv light flash
repetitively, as if it was re-sending the info that should appear on
my screen, but nothing ever appears.

I also tried it from work on a hard-wired connection at 9600 or
19200bps and the same thing happened.

When it happens, I can always open other connections but they will
eventually hang like the first one.

I'm using an Annex III terminal server from Xylogics - it supports SLIP.  
It works with a PC program (NOS I think - I'm not the one who tested it) 
so it shouldn't be the Annex's fault. 

I'm so close I can almost feel it... I would be *very* grateful if someone
could help me with this problem...

Thank you for your help.
