Same, except I'm using Hummingbird's eXceed's "HostExplorer" (version
6.1.0) to telnet. Same software, different version. I am using NetBSD
1.4.2 on an Alpha.

Then you are doing well. For the longest time I couldn't get logged in.
I had no problems telneting (same client) to a Digital UNIX box and
then rlogining to my NetBSD box. But a direct telnet to the NetBSD box
would result in no end of problems. Of course, HostExplorer doesn't
support rlogin. 

I can also use HostExplorer to telnet to HP-UX 9.05 and 10.20 boxes 
without any problems, and telnetting to Solaris 2.5.1 boxes works fine
as well. Only the NetBSD box is problematic. However, only the NetBSD
box is outside of the company firewall, which might (I have no idea) cause
problems perhaps?

The WinNT 4 supplied telnet, well, sucks.

I finally got HostExplorer to work almost correctly. It has a bug where
sometimes when I hit return it erases some text at the beginning of
lines below the line where I hit return. Also, if I have the cursor in
a column other than 0 and hit down-arrow then my cursor appears on
column 0 but is actually in the same column it was in before (control-l
shows this to be true).

Oh, and I suggest never making shortcuts to start HostExplorer by hand.
HostExplorer has an option when saving config files to create icons; use
that instead. I had a really irritating 3270 bug that was cleared up by
using the HostExplorer-created shortcut icon instead. That was with the
3270 emulation, but you might see it with vt100 also (perhaps?).

Anyway, here are my HostExplorer config files for telnetting to my
NetBSD box:

I don't know if all of the control-keys need to be in there.

If anyone has better luck then please send me config files. Thanks.
