Is this discussion perhaps relevant to my continuing problems UPloading TOD's
REP to The_Talamasca?  (I have no trouble DOWNloading, but uploads are
impossible and I have many observations to describe if this discussion is
relevant to that issue - and it appears that it could be.)  If so, I'd be happy
to keep up with my testing and reporting (I gave up once I found the same
issues were true while using Linux).  NOTE:  I have not yet used a telnet
"client," only a terminal program (now MiniCom).  I have no transfer problems
otherwise - only to BBSs.  (I think I recall being able to upload to a
PCBoard_BBS via telnet awhile ago, but that SysOp was watching, so s/he may
have helped.)

Sorry, I'm in rambling mode today it seems....I could have stopped at Line3.
:-D
