Hello Kenneth,

Re: RE: Advanced TELNET pulled from patches (was "DTC-less")

I do not have a current time frame for Resolution.  I understand
this is a problem Jeff Bandle turned up in Lab testing of the
Telnet/iX product.

I will update the 3000-l when we add this functionality back into
a 6.0 and 6.5 patch.

Shoot....  well, clearly don't want 3000 users to lose any of their
data;  better later and right than sooner and wrong, I guess....

May we depend on you to give this list notice when a TELNET
fix patch that solves this "corner case" bug is available ??..   :-)

thanks for update,
