Hey Charles,

Sorry, been really busy for the last few days, so finally getting to this.

If I try and telnet to rainmaker.wunderground.com from MY system, I don't
see any of those errors in my log, but that's because I have this command
in my autoexec.nos :

    mbox eolwarnings off

Buy default, the warnings are turned ON, you can switch them off with the
above. The code was put in originally for linfbb, because the EOL (end of
line sequences were not consistently CR LF or something like that), so I
put in code to deal with this, no data get's lost, but you get bombared
with warnings.

I enabled the warnings on my system, and I get the same thing. The code
is meant to fix a situation that should be fixed on the remote side, but
for some reason it's not possible to fix on the remote side.

If I had a complete dump of the data between you and rainmaiker, then I
can analyse the EOL sequences, possibly may have to add another flag to
the telnet command (ie, iac, noiac, cronly are the existing ones, none
of them seem to work out), or it could be the remote side has an issue.
