You posted through the web interface at Nabble (which is not associated with Cygwin). You might want to do some lobbying for them to include a link to the above instructions. And while you're at it, please tell them to allow posting attachments using their web interface. > For anyone running into this issue - the problem was the default use (by > CYGWIN) of the windows telnet app. By downloading and installing the > suggested / inetutils package (located in the - net category under the > package installer) CYGWIN then uses its own telnet app instead. The default use is of whatever telnet app is in the PATH first. That is not a problem -- that is expected behavior. The problem was that you were missing the inetutils package, as Brian pointed out. You could've searched for "bin/telnet\b" on the package search page at , or via "cygcheck -p", to get this information yourself.
