Telnet tool shutdown?

["Peter Dow" <pcdow@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Booth,

Blind eye and deaf ears. Haven't heard a thing. What do you mean "shutting
down the telnet tool"? ISP's refusing port 23 connections? That would be a
serious problem since I use TN5250 to connect to my customers. What have you
heard? Or read? Or experienced?

P.S. I notice about a 3 hour time lag between when messages are posted and
when I receive them. I already mentioned it to David, but I was wondering if
anyone else has shorter lags.
