RE: Telnet tool shutdown?

["Richard Jackson" <richardjackson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Worse than a 3 hour delay is when I receive two or three replies to a
message that I don't get for 2 or 3 hours - the replies arrive well before
the original.

-|Hi Booth,
-|
-|Blind eye and deaf ears. Haven't heard a thing. What do you mean "shutting
-|down the telnet tool"? ISP's refusing port 23 connections? That would be a
-|serious problem since I use TN5250 to connect to my customers.
-|What have you
-|heard? Or read? Or experienced?
-|

-|P.S. I notice about a 3 hour time lag between when messages are posted and
-|when I receive them. I already mentioned it to David, but I was
-|wondering if
-|anyone else has shorter lags.
