 end of the TCP connection to stop responding to commands. 
I think that's a telnet feature - it probably sent an 'interrupt'
command, and the other side is not a real telnet server so it doesn't
respond in the proper way.
  Here is a picture of the machine you are
connecting to, complete with
 the Western Digital 8003 Ethernet card grafted onto the side:

   Very neat.  How did you do that to a PCjr?  Some sort of hacked up ISA bus
 or something? 
 
ISA bus to PCjr bus adapter :-)
   And lastly, if
you remember, type in your OS and machine type as a
 command.  It will complain about it being an invalid command, but I'll
 see it in the log and I'll have a better idea of what I'm testing against.

 These (with the exception of the 192.168.2.1 address) are me.  All Linux
 systems (2.0 to 2.6) with one Mac mini thrown in.

It wasn't too long after this that it died, so I'm going to test 9
simultaneous connections here.
