I'm trying to implement a telnet client program in Java.After the option

negotiations I get this error:

"java.net.SocketException:connection reset by peer"

This program was working fine earlier.The client software runs on a Win95 node

and is to telnet to a Unix server.Now why would the peer(the Unix machine

I presume)want to reset the connection? What does this mean?

Please help.I'm working against a deadline.
