<p>Because this is running over a serial cable, how do you have the serial handshaking setup? It may be expecting a hard drop on DTR (boy, this is going back in time). Try setting it to software handshaking. Maybe try playing with the [telnet] section in protocols.cfg.
At worst, you could write an expect script to do the test - at least then you get to see what the terminal server responds to.<br>

I have tried to catch it, I was thinking as you that telnet is not disconnecting nicely.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Xymon folks,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am running Xymon 4.3.10 and I am seeing an issue with the telnet test going to a Cisco term server (router with async cards to serial device). Randomly the term server will hang and show a refuse connection. We the term server is checked
the hung session came from the Xymon server. When I check the Xymon server netstat I do not show a connection to the term server. I get the term server port cleared and we are ok again.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Anyone see this behavior?</p>
