The situation: Telnetting from a Sequent (DYNIX 3.0.17.9) to another unix host. 				
	So far we've tried: - a DECSystem 5400 (Ultrix 4.1),
	a Sun SLC (SunOS 4.1), a MicroVax (4.3BSD-Reno),
	a Silicon Graphics 4D/340 (IRIX 3.3.2) and an HP 300 (More/BSD).

The problem: When a lot of output is generated quickly by the remote host, the
	telnet session "hangs" - but only for the Ultrix, SunOS and IRIX
	machines. This has not observed with the BSD machines.

Similar problems occur when trying to FTP a file between the Sequent and
the Ultrix, SunOS and IRIX machines. We have tried *all* combinations of the
machines listed above, and all of the others will talk to each other faultlessly.
Which leads me to the conclusion that there is a problem with TCP on the Sequent.

So... is this a known problem? Is there a patch available?

Brian.
