After losing the echo for the zillionth time, a convienient work-around
hit me. However, this requires that you have X on your Linux box, and are
working on some sort of X station. It's sooo simple, that I don't know why
I didn't think of it earlier!!!! ;-)
First, ensure X is up on your local terminal. Then telnet to your Linux
box, and login, and do the usual:
"xterm -display <your local server goes here>:<display # here> &"
eg. "xterm -display goober.mit.edu:0 &"
....and then wait for the window to magically appear, and then you can
logout from the shell which you launched the xterm, and the xterm will stay.
I have been on now for ages without hassle -- yay!!!! Perhaps this bit
of info will help narrow in on the problem too. (Wishful thinking????) My guess
is that this avoids the problem via avoiding telnetd. Note the word `guess'.
Best of Luck!!!!
