Ctrl- > ], type "mode character". Do you know what client your end user is using? What I meant by "no possibility to go back to character mode" is exactly that: an escape sequence followed by "mode character" doen't change anything... But thanks anyway for your suggestion. Regarding the client used, we made tests with 3 different Unix telnet clients (Solaris 2.6, Solaris 2.7 and RedHat 5.2 Linux) and a Win95 telnet client, all ending with the same problems, which makes me think it's _not_ client related but is really the symptom of something going wrong in the telnet options negociation phase between fwtk and FW-1.
