The clue I think is that there is no address printed after the "address:". This
seems to indicate that your telgate module is not parsing the command-line
correctly. Double-check your exec/telgate.src file. Did you modify it? It
should contain:

# telgate.src

# $Id: telgate.src,v 1.3 2003/01/06 00:28:06 rswindell Exp $

# @format.tab-size 8, @format.use-tabs true

!include sbbsdefs.inc

printf "\r\n\1h\1hPress \1yCtrl-]\1w for a control menu anytime.\r\n\r\n"
pause
printf "\1h\1yConnecting to: \1w%s\1n\r\n" str
telnet_gate str TG_PASSTHRU
cls

When you run telgate, are you seeing of the above "printf" output?
