What are the properties of your telnet session of the your Windows box?

Yesterday I posted a problem using Telnet and being forced to use the modem
to connect to my LAN at home. From numerous responses here I have solved
that delema and thanks to all that responded to my question. But now for
the next round.

I have 2 WinXX boxes on my LAN and I can open a MS-DOS command window on
each box and ping my Linux box without a problem. But on the new Win98 box
when I now use Telnet every thing 'appears' to be working but, I do not get
any prompt for a login when trying to connect the the Linux box. I can type
in characters, but nothing else happens. When I select disconnect from the
menu I get this message "You still have open remote connections - do you
want to disconnect?". Each PC connected to the LAN has a subnet address of
255.255.255.0 is this correct or should each subnet be unique? 

Thanks

Eric
