Hello Stephen!
Friday January 29 2016 08:47, you wrote to me:
It might not be too happy by you using a local port to do a telnet - can't
remember when I played with it but I do have issues using Mageia in that
creating passwords (or updating them) is an issue.
So try logging in using the internet round robin by running telnet to your IP
address and see what happens then.
Next go into the setting menus option 6 and check if you have enabled all tty
ports (1 - 6) by setting
6 = Local
7 = Yes
9 = No

OK, clutching at straws here :)
