    Hi

    I've been exchanging compressed forwarding between two XFBB systems for
    some time. If the telnet connection is made directly from one system to the
    other, everything works fine.

    However, if a non-Linux FBB system connects first to a Linux node then
    telnets to an FBB system, the compressed forwarding falls over.

    It appears that although the escape character is disabled on the node, the
    connection is not truly transparent.

    The node appears to be invoking Telnet in such a way as to cause a LF to be
    added to every CR, and 0xFF to be duplicated. Is there a way of making the
    node invoke Telnet in a truly transparent binary mode, or is the problem
    with the receiving FBB using Telnet in a different way?

    Is there a workaround for this problem (apart from forwarding in plain text)?

    Thanks

    Roger
