Re: [cobalt-developers] RAQ3i: Telnet denied

["Atlantis Development Department" <development@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Audric,

I'm not using ASP and I was not experimenting any other software on this server.
Suddenly the Telnet stopped to work without a reason.

The interesting thing is that all other services seem working right.

If you have any other idea please let me know.

regards,

Carlo Alberto Cuman
