Hello!

I have installed latest Fedora Core 6 and I tried installing windows
application using WINE.
The application is called NETTERM ? it is a terminal emulation software
(Tucows Downloads - NetTerm 5.10 Shareware Software
<http://www.tucows.com/preview/195283>) . Actually I tried an older
version ? 4.2.
It installs correctly ? no install errors. I run it, no errors. I can
customize some settings; create a new connection ? no problems.
But as soon as I start using it and connect to another host via telnet
the program (netterm) freezes, becomes irresponsive and I have to close
it manually.
When Netterm connects to the remote host via telnet, I get the login
prompt but I do not have enough time even to enter the password ?
netterm freezes in about 4 - 5 seconds after I connect to the remote host.

I tried installing NETTERM through WINE on other linux distros like:
Ubuntu, CentOS, Knoppix ? I had exactly the same problem ? netterm freezes.

I tried installing other Windows terminal emulation programs through
WINE but no luck.
None of them work. They all die in the same way as netterm (I tried
PowerTerm and Putty)

Is this a known WINE problem?
WINE has been around for a long time and I hope this is a glitch that
can be fixed.

Any ideas as to where I should look for the problem?

Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
