   timings... the internal timers may be more lax allowing for longer   
   transmission times before erroring out...   
      
   as far as Tiny's comment about multiple telnet hops, it makes sense because   
   telnet can be switched in modes so that things like zmodem will work... that   
   mode switch isn't transmitted up the line to the next telnet package because   
   the first one ate it when it reacted to it... remember, no one ever expected   
   to be tunneling file transfer protocols within telnet sessions... that's why,   
   from a command shell account, you always telneted and then opened a separate   
   sz or rz connection for your files... they weren't done inside the telnet   
   pipe...

   Do you manage your own servers? If you are not running an IDS/IPS yer doin' it   
   wrong...   
   ... I won't actively try to have you committed, although I won't oppose it.
