System name:		pos
Type and version:	KN02ca 7.6F
Display type:		PMAG-DV 

What were you trying to do?
	telnet 

	% telnet foo.mit.edu
	...including Athena's default telnet options: "-ax"
	foo: Error 0

What's wrong:

	error message not useful
	
What should have happened:
	It should have said "cannot resolve name 'foo.mit.edu'".

	Also, changing the option message to "using telnet options -ax"
	would make it easier to understand.
