Subject: Telnet just sits there -- any ideas why?

We've just, in theory, been given Telnet access to a new customer's box.

But whether we connect with a TN5250e emulator, or a generic Telnet client on the desktop, or from one of our AS/400s' own Telnet clients, it just sits there indefinitely, neither presenting a sign-on screen, nor timing out without connecting, nor disconnecting at the first keystroke.

Now, if I set one of our boxes to QAUTOCFG=0 and QAUTOVRT=0, and get rid of the autoconfigured sessions, it connects and immediately disconnects, which is quite different from what I'm seeing on what is purportedly the customer box.

Anybody have any insights? Is there some combination of system values that would cause this? Or are we connecting, despite what we've been told, to a bit-bucket somewhere?
