   Telnet Problems

   Hi there,   
      
   I've been trying to get my BBS up and running via telnet but have run into a   
   few problems and was hoping to get some insight. Here is a brief run down of   
   my configuration:   
      
   - Windows XP   
   - Winfossil (for NT) Ver 1.00 Beta 3  (emulating com3 as TELNET)   
   - Vmodem for the Virtual Modem   
   - Maximus v2.02 using Frontdoor 2.26   
      
      
   The problems I'm running into is when I open my telnet connection via   
   Internet Explorer V6.0 Sp2 I get an echo on everything I type ie; HHEELLOO   
   also the emulation isn't quite right, some ANSI menus not displaying until   
   you press enter a couple of times etc. I suspect the echo and the ANSI   
   emulation are   
   related in some way. I 've looked over my settings in Winfossil nad can't   
   see anything in reguards to emulation or echos and there's no documentation   
   for Vmodem.   
      
   I've logged into a couple of other Maximus BBS's over telnet using my   
   Internet Explorer and it works great on their BBS's.   
      
   If anyone can help that's be greatly appreciated.   
   Thanks.
