Telnet concerns

Question

I have noticed alot of spurious characters in the Session Trace file when I turn this feature on.  I am concerned these characters are causing problems for some of my devices when logging in, especially using Radius auth.  Logging into a device when not using Radius is fine for some of my Nortel devices, but then using Radius NCM can't connect.

I saw another users trace file which looks much cleaner than mine.  My files have alot of these spurious characters, as if the file were corrupt.  I am running NCM 5.5 DL1000 with a Telnet DLL of 9.0.0.27, the other user looks to be running SWtelnet version SWTelnet9 Version 9.0.29.

I am wondering if this is affecting some of my downloads.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for your help, Don

Don, I'd recommend upgrading to 5.5.2 if you haven't already.   If the problem persists, please open a support ticket on this issue.

Hi Don--

I'm trying to get you an answer, but I had to write and tell you that you get thwack post of the day because of your use of the word 'spurious'! Very nice.
