Notice what I get (apologies for the telnets to your box ;-): ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dig debian.enode.de <..deleted...> ;; ANSWER SECTION: debian.enode.de. 86388 IN A 212.227.109.196 <..deleted..> [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ telnet debian.enode.de Trying 212.227.109.196... Connected to kundenserver.de. Escape character is '^]'. Warning! For security reasons all ssh and telnet sessions are logged, and may be monitored.

I'm still not sure why your telnet issue looks the way it does, and further, I don't see the same thing from here. I hope this helps. Cheers! Shyamal
