RE: lynx-dev Telnet Problem with Win32 Lynx

[Dean Walker]

Keith, 

I have tried this on my PC and found no problem
connecting lynx to telnet://mymachine. I got the usual
UniVerse prompts for user/passwd/account. What Telnet
client is your Lynx launching ? What version of UV ?
Are you redirecting output to a file, which would
generate the same message ? Have you tried the info-ardent
list as well ?

Cheers, Dean
