Subject: [9fans] telnet vs. godaddy whois
Topicbox-Message-UUID: 8e3cdcd6-ead3-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025

does anyone know why telnet has trouble with this?

	; echo godaddy.com|telnet -nr /net.alt/tcp!whois.godaddy.com!43
	connected to /net.alt/tcp!whois.godaddy.com!43 on /net.alt/tcp/12
	;

from a similarly-connected linux machine, linux telnet returns a
lengthy answer.
