The telnet client isn't freezing... the display is getting lost... keys
still work, but no display.  I haven't seen this discussed much, but it's
an obvious bug, as I know of two other locals here, as well as myself, and
at least one other person in this list back about a year and a half or so
ago who had the same problem. One of them didn't realize the problem until
I telneted to his board and  made him aware of it... he never actually
telneted to his own board.

When I had the problem, no matter -what- telnet client I used, had the
problem.  Seems it doesn't happen on -all- setups, but you are at least the
fifth I know of, including myself, who have encountered it.

Quick fix is to download and install ELEHDR11.ZIP from
archives.thebbs.org's EleBBS Scripts and Utilities directory. Will work
over telnet fine after that and takes about a minute to do.
