No it does work, but what folks mostly dont know or have over looked is
that linux was designed with internet in mind, and has its default timers
set accordingly.
This thread started when Pete said something must be broken somewhere, yes
it was on his side, he did not set his IRTT with the route command. So he
has a default retry timer of 300mS, before even his packet can be ackd.,
from the other side of the link he has sent it again, and now if he misses
a packet, (which was the case in his listen trace) boom he now has a 2 very
long wait before he retransmits. Now considering that the standard login
program has its default to 60 seconds, he will have an almost impossable
task to login using 1200 baud.
Changes to telnet.h ??? enlighten us..

He can, like others who use linux over radio, but there is the nessaty to
do some reading first.

Huum, sendamil trying to reach an unreachable nameserver maybe beforehand.
Anyway if the message was so old there must be plenty of pointers to help
find out why in var/adm/*logs (messages) or where ever they are on your
system, and why are you ashamed.?

Fun for those who have some linux and Xnos experiance, but a trying time for
the newbie.
