My first piece of advice is to try using the command "listen -a" and "listen"
(without -a) on the receiving machine (192.168.100.40 I believe).

On 192.168.100.40, 'ping 192.168.100.40' works right?

My random guess is whether the connect is 8-bit clean. I know I had
such problems with using the built-in TNC of the Kenwood TH-D7 mkII,
trying to use it in KISS mode.

Do you mean you want to be able to do "port forwarding" using netfilter/
iptables or ipchains on 192.168.100.30, and forward the connection to
192.168.100.40? Or just to be able to telnet between the machines?
