I still think it's a Windows problem and nothing to do with the telnet app.
I just tried three different telnets from NT to *NIX:
- Microsoft's one that comes with NT (no it does not seem to contain any BSD
references but it was compiled with Microsoft C++)
- The one that comes with Hummingbird Exceed
- Peter Zander's EWAN program

They all sit there in TIME_WAIT after disconnecting, for quite some time (5
mins or so).
No other *NIXes do that, so I just blame Microsoft again for breaking
things.

Regards,

Jill.

Never seen that happen, but I think we can all agree that Telnet.exe is
a very, well, silly piece of software (if anyone can confirm that the Telnet
in Win2K is BSD derived, I'd be interested to hear it).
