I have seen this with the PCIP project telnet programs. (haven't found a
solution.)  A microvax has no trouble nor does an Annex terminal server nor
does FTP software's code (I have the early release which I understand was at 
least partially based on that).  However the PCIP project software does work
with these other systems so it appears that the XENIX TCP/IP is touchy about
something.  I haven't had the time to sit down and understand enough about it
to find a solution.  Any thoughts would be appreciated
