Hi Christoph, > what is your destination program or server on 192.168.1.75:2000? It's a custom service that I'm writing to add packet BBS functionality to a BBS package that's more geared to telnet and dialup users. Currently that service outputs a line of text followed by a CRLF when somebody connects to it, then prompts for a line of input from the user and then echoes it back to them. If I telnet to port 2000 it behaves as expected. I've also tried sending clients to port 23 of the same, where a proper telnet server is listening, and saw no change.
