Telneting to localhost works just fine. DNS is working. After messing
around a little more, it seems that, as long as I'm doing something, the
connection will stay up. If I stop typing and hitting enter for more
than a few seconds, it "freezes".

I really doubt this is a network issue, as I can deal with every other
UNIX machine in that lab just fine. It just about has to be a software
issue on the HP-UX machine, but... what? Where would I look? Is there
maybe a newer telnetd I should be using? Some sort of PAM-like security
software?
