Not able to telnet to server
Out of the blue for some odd reason I am no longer able to telnet to one of my SCO Unix servers. I can ping, ftp and do a traceroute to it, just cant telnet. When I attempt to telnet to it, I just get this

Trying ##.##.##.##....
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out

What I don't understand is that other host within this office are able to telnet to this SCO server. Anything outside the subnet or remote sites are NOT able to telnet to this SCO machine. Could this be something internally with this server itself or could this have to do with some router settings being changed? Anyone have any suggestions??

Thanks

Problem solved! Turns out network provider made changes on their end. They disabled "telnet". Damm them!!

telnetrc

telnetrc(4)						     Kernel Interfaces Manual						       telnetrc(4)

NAME

       telnetrc, .telnetrc - Specifies setup commands for a telnet session

SYNOPSIS

       $HOME/.telnetrc

DESCRIPTION

       The .telnetrc file contains the setup information for a telnet session.	It is a hidden file in your home directory and must be readable by
       the user logging in.

       The file can consist of multiple entries for each remote host to which a user can connect.  A remote host entry consists of multiple lines.
       The first line is the name of a remote host. The subsequent lines must begin with blank spaces, and contain telnet subcommands.	These sub-
       commands are processed as though they were typed in manually. Lines beginning with a number sign (#) are comment lines.	See telnet(1)  for
       a complete list of telnet subcommands.

       To specify subcommands that apply to all systems, create an entry, using the word "DEFAULT" as the system name, and specify the telnet sub-
       commands in the subsequent lines.

EXAMPLES

       The following shows a sample .telnetrc file:

       # Beginning of telnetrc file # Default subcommands that apply to all systems DEFAULT
	  environ undefine USER # First system entry system1
	  set echo
	  toggle crlf # Second system entry system2
	  set echo
	  mode line
	  toggle crlf

FILES

       User-customized telnet startup values.
