Can anyone help me with the subject error message?
I had a backup that abended and am not sure if this was an indication of why it stopped.
I WILL assign points.
Thanks for any/all help.

1. What is the meaning of this massage ?
It means the tcp/ip connection to the telnet client has terminatedabnormally
2. In what case does this message appear ?
Usually there has been a communication failure between the telnetd process
and the telnet client process (the peer) running at the other side of the
tcp connection3. Did any bad things happen when the message appeared ?
The occasional occurrence is not bad. For example, the telnet client may be
running on a PC that has hung, so the user simply powers off the PC.
In this case the telnetd process on hp-ux will detect the tcp connection
timeout and log the message.
