The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

If you enter a buffer size of greater than 2180 in the Terminal Preferences dialog box in Telnet, one of the following symptoms may occur:

  • The Telnet window is reduced to a title bar only.
  • Telnet is minimized to a button on the taskbar and cannot be restored or maximized.

Quitting Telnet and restarting it does not resolve the problem.

RESOLUTION

To gain access to Telnet again, follow these steps:

  1. While the current Telnet session is active, press ALT+T.

  2. Click Preferences, or press ALT+P.

  3. Change the buffer size to a value less than 2180, and then click OK.

  4. Click Exit on the Connect menu, and then restart Telnet.
