Depends on the source of the port. Ping was probably not ported from
Unix where Telnet was? Just a guess.

Subject: RE: able to TELNET not able to socket connect thru program
Ping from iseries gives you a different result.
Ping 010.010.011.001
Verifying connection to host system 010.010.011.001.
Seems like ping in iseries does not treat leading 0 number as octal.
But it will treat it as octal when uses telnet.
