OK, got my unix machine back up and running and started trying all this stuff
again.

Still don't work.  I let it sit for 133 minutes ( I went shopping ) and I still
got no error, it just sat there.

I have a LinkSys broadband router that links my internal network to the outside
world.  My internal network is 192.168.1.  I have connectivity between my
BBS machine (internal network 192.168.1.100 or delta.ujoint.org) and my unix
computer (internal network 192.168.1.50 or myopia.ujoint.org).  I tested my
connectivity by using ping, ftp, and telnet. These all work fine from either
machine to either machine.

Try running '*telgate myopia.ujoint.org' causes you to just hang there with no
connection.  running '*telgate delta.ujoint.org' works.  Now I am really
confusinededed...ded.

This behavior is identical if I am telneted into my BBS from inside my network
or from an outside (other side of my router) host.

my 'hosts' file( same on both my systems ):
192.168.1.100   delta delta.ujoint.org
192.168.1.50    myopia myopia.ujoint.org


Since I do networking support as part of my real job, this is one of those
things that I am determined to figure out why it doesn't work, and I am
stumped.  I don;t know what's ahppening inside of the baja code for
'telnet_gate', but that's the only place I can figure this is going wrong...

I have only one NIC on both systems, the IP's are static, SBBS has been bound
to <ANY> and is now bound to 192.168.1.100 and all results are the same.

Help?
