Re: [cobalt-users] Telnet not giving prompt for username/pw!!

["Brian" <cobalt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I tried that, didn't help at all.  Still sits there.  If you press enter
twice is closes immediately!

Also normally of Telnet daemon cannot perform a reverse on the ip you are
coming into, doesn't it just let the person in anyways?  That has always
been my experience, that after 20-30 seconds it will then give you a prompt
for information.

Anyone else have any other ideas on what I can check?
You can try to telnet to cobalt1.cahost.net and see what I mean.
