Try again, jik. Mark Eichin is doing it. It may require kernel
hacks, but I think it only requires a special telnetd. He uses it on
charon now, I believe. Ask him for details.
Marc,
I am quite aware that it is possible to write code that allows
disconnecting from and reconnecting to telnet sessions.
When I said "our current Operating System", I meant, "with the
standard set of utilities that we currently use and do not intend to
replace." We are not going to replace telnetd in the forseeable
future.
