I've found the source of my problem, and the problem is the negotiations that
take place between a telnet server and a telnet client before a login prompt is
displayed.  When using telnet_gate to connect to a telnetd or RFC telnet
server, the telnet server attempts to do negotiations with the client to
establish some things before a login propmpt gets thrown out.  Since
telnet_gate is not a telnet client, those negotiations are not getting answered
and the telnet server never gives a login prompt.  I have verified I _am_
connecting to the system in question, but these negotiations are not getting
completed.  The telnet client I am using to connect to Synchronet does not
respond to these negotiations becuase it is programmed to do the negotiation
during a connect attempt, not while a connect is already done!

The RFC's for telnet are about as bad (reading wise) for any RFC, but I have
found that reading these in their entirety either gives me a headache or leaves
me
