Problem report of LinuxNode 0.3.0

Hi everyone!
I have found a problem with LinuxNode when a user makes AX.25 connections
inside it.
Well, the problem is for users that login via telnet and , when inside
the node, they connect to other station via AX.25.
There are two reactions of LinuxNode:
Reaction Nr.1:
I make a telnet connection using "Telnet" from Windows'98. When I get
inside the node I make a connection to other node via an AX.25 port.
Now I'm in the other node. I'll issue a command that will be sent in
I'll show it (problem reported by the users):

[Thu Oct 7 00:57:40 1999]
Port modem0: AX25: CT2GQU->CT1BPT-8 <I C S0 R2> pid=Text
0000 75 | u

[Thu Oct 7 00:57:40 1999]
Port modem0: AX25: CT2GQU->CT1BPT-8 <I C S1 R2> pid=Text
0000 73 65 72 | ser

[Thu Oct 7 00:57:40 1999]
Port modem0: AX25: CT2GQU->CT1BPT-8 <I C S2 R2> pid=Text
0000 73 | s

[Thu Oct 7 00:57:40 1999]
Port modem0: AX25: CT1BPT-8->CT2GQU <RR R R3>

[Thu Oct 7 00:57:41 1999]
Port modem0: AX25: CT2GQU->CT1BPT-8 <I C S3 R2> pid=Text
0000 0D | .

As you can see, command "users" has been sent in several packets.
Apart this SLOW proccess everything works great.

Reaction Nr.2

I make the same Telnet connection, but now I'm using a telnet command
from unix/linux or other telnet program for Windows.
I make the same connection in AX.25 to the station CT1BPT-8 and now
the text is sent as much as possible in ONLY one packet.
This is the normal behaviour.

Anyone has noted this?
I don't mean this is a Node problem but there other related problems
with Carriage Returns and LineFeeds that metion in another message.

Thanks in advance.
