[nos-bbs] problem with JNOS 2.0 and Linux Redhat 9.1

Mark,
I could not help but read with interest your comments on 3rd party 
firmware for the linksys router 
I am having a similar problem here and have long suspected the router. 
I see packet come in, and I see jnos respond, but no connection is ever 
established.

I have tried everything I know how to get the router to leave the jnos 
packet pass through
unmolested.  In my reading up on the subject, it sounds like there are 
certain parts of the linksys
operating system I can not control.

Any insight would be appreciated.
