I have seen problems in both UNIX user telnet (sending just \n) and server telnet (not interpreting \r\n properly). This particular bit of UNIX chauvinism seems to be rather difficult to stamp out. The problem has been discussed on this list more than once in the past. It often comes up when one tries to communicate between a UNIX machine and something else. -------
