Telnet Disconnects - Please help!

Hi Mike,

First of all thank you for mail.

I also thought it was related to display speed! But this doesn't seem to be the issue. I tried from the the TTYs Ctrl+Alt+F1-F6 and the issue is still the same. I get disconnected.

CPU doesn't spike while displaying the configuration, and my T61 comes with a 512MB nVidia (probably like yours does) and I... I am really confused :~

While operating with CISCO switches I don't have any problems whatsoever--surely related to the --MORE-- at the end of each page. I can hold down the spacebar so that it 'kinda' drops the config all at once and I still remain online with the switch.

I know the PNG with the filtered pcap doesn't seem that complete, but Bertelsmann has a very strict policy about data privacy, so I am unable to post the complete pcap.

If someone would have a public Alcatel switch where I could connect to, I'd be more than happy to post the complete pcap.

To be honest, we took a look at the complete pcap with my networking colleagues (real gurus) and found nothing suspicious.

If there is something else, anything, I can collaborate with, please let me know!

KR, Harald
