[Dxspider-support] Connection Closed by Foreign Host

[Boudewijn (Bob) Tenty]

Hi Dave,

You server is echoing every character of my call back during the login 
process.
This is confusing for the bash terminal what is using local echo 
normally with the result that a
carriage return is transmitted (0D) instead of an end of line (0A) if I 
hit the return key.
Your end terminates the connection (time out I guess)  because it 
doesn't receive the end of line / lf character.

Normally with local echo you type you call and an end of line (LF) - 0D  
follows.

73,

Bob VE3TOK
