Is this the bug about setting echo to refuse???  I tried setting that and
it still died.  I found that if I had mint installed I could start a
telnet connection without my machine bombing, but I never get a login:
prompt from the machine I am telnetting to.  I type a CTRL-T and the
machine I am trying to connect to responds with i am here...

I have just about given up...
