    I have enabled TCP/IP on the DS700 and added a Telnet Listener mapped
    to all ports. Our unit wants access to LAT Services on the private LAN
    and the ability to Telnet onto the Back-Back LAT Service from our
    Laptops. Everything works except for the following:-
    
    When a telnet session is established Telnet nnnn port 2002...
    #password	- The DS200 access password displays when typed?
    Username>	- Repeats every character type once eg al becomes aall?
    
    When a Set ho/lat session using the same Terminal Emulator is
    established everything works ok.
    
    Why does this happen?
    Is there a fix?
    
    I cross posted this in the VTStar conference.
    
    Hope you can help.

RE: .0

Looks like a disagreement over who does character echoinh; the telnet client 
or the telnet server -- in this case both are doing it.

3474.2What else?CHEFS::HARRISONFri Mar 21 1997 10:117
    Looking at the DS700 telnet listener definition there doesn't appear to
    be any control on character echoing?
    
    Local Echo is disabled on the VTStar telnet client? I'm not sure how to
    progress this, can you give me a more detailed explanation.

RE: .2

I recall that echoing is negotiated between the telnet client and telnet 
server.

    So what can I do to fix the problem?

3474.4Telnet port charCHEFS::HARRISONMon Mar 24 1997 09:2029
    If the VTStar Telnet Client is not set to local echo and the DECserver
    700 ports are set to remote echo I assume this is correct?
    
    If I issue a show port telnet client I get the following:
    
    Port  3
    
    Profile:               Character
    Echo:                     Remote    Newline From Term:          <CR>
    Toggle Echo:                  ^E    Newline From Host:        <CRLF>
    Binary:                 Disabled    Newline To Term:          <CRLF>
    Xmit Char Size:                8    Newline To Host:          <CRLF>
    Rcv Char Size:                 8    Input Flow Control:      Enabled
    Signal Req:              Enabled    Output Flow Control:     Enabled
    IP:                  +s +f    ^Y    Local Msg Verify:        Enabled
    SYNCH:               +s -f    ^X    Local Switch Recog:      Enabled
    AYT:                 -s -f    ^T    Quote:                      None
    AO:                  -s +f    ^O
    EOR:                 -s -f  None
    BRK:                 -s -f  None
    
    
    I'm not sure of the relevance of the Telnet Client paramaters on the
    DECserver ports when I'm telnetting from VTstar (a Telnet client) onto
    a DECserver offering a telnet listener?
    
    Anybody got any more ideas or fixes?
    
    Thanks Al
