Chuck,
Are you running TCPIP or UCX? Basically you should be running TCPIP V5.0A
(though I'm still on V5.0). With V5.0 on the VAX I've had no problem
whatsoever.
BTW, your best bet would be to post this question to comp.os.vms, and
include accurate version info, and hardware info.

Is there some known bug with the TCP/IP implementation of telnet in the DEC
version of TCP/IP ? I installed a fairly recent version of TCP/IP on my 10
year old VAX and when I telnet to it the VAX is driven to its knees and the
hub goes wild. Doing a trace on the packets reveals zillions of
10:56:25.213012 unix.1714 > vax.telnet: P 36303:36314(11) ack 20085 win

As you can see from the trace a couple of things are strange. Why are the
windows screwed up? Why are the TOS bits set? Very confusing.
