I wrote a simple telnet proxy in Java. I have no trouble connecting through the proxy to any BBS, or to Linux or SunOS telnetd. It also works fine when connecting to a TWGS through a BBS. However, if I connect directly to a TWGS, it doesn't respond to anything I type! Bytes are being sent out the socket with no errors, but TWGS is not responding to them. At least, I'm not getting anything back from it after the login prompt. I tried two different TWGS and got exactly the same result.

Is there anything weird about how TWGS handles telnet? Have the authors of any helper programs run into this problem?
