strange telnet problem

Hi all.

I've my accounting program that runs by clients connecting to the Linux
server (RH 7.1) via telnet.
It's just some days that the connection goes down, a client at a time,
and I've to close and restart the connection in order to have
disconnected clients working.
Sometimes I've to restart both network and xinetd services.
In the /var/log/messages I find "......in.telnetd (I'm now not sure of
this) : ttloop : peer died : EOF".
What can cause this?

Thank you in advance.

"peer died". If that is in the server's log, the client or the
connection between them died. Maybe you need a new network card, or
maybe you should upgrade to the current Red Hat or Fedora Core.

Thank you. In fact I was thinking of network card too.

You could also think of the ISP. I have a small script that sends an
email to myself whenever the IP address changes. It changes when the
network drops usually, but there is probably a log of the network status
change somewhere !?
