I don't get it. I have never had this problem and I always telnet in.
Several times a day per unit. I had a unit up 140 days with never a
problem. I know what to do if it ever happens so I am not worried but
what are you doing that causes it. I always type exit to close the
connection at the pm prompt. The telnets are always from BSDI 2.1 or
FreeBSD 2.1.5 or from another PM. Are you using some other telnet agent
and just dropping the connection which causes it to hang?
