Chapter 6: Telnet (6 of 6) -- Telnet problems


WHEN THINGS GO WRONG:

     * Nothing happens when you try to connect to a telnet site.  The
site could be down for maintenance or problems.
     * You get a "host unavailable" message.  The telnet site is down
for some reason.  Try again later.
     * You get a "host unknown" message.  Check your spelling of the
site name.
     * You type in a password on a telnet site that requires one, and you
get a "login incorrect" message.  Try logging in again.  If you get the
message again, hit your control and ] keys at the same time to disengage
and return to your host system.
     * You can't seem to disconnect from a telnet site.  Use control-] to
disengage and return to your host system.
