Since you used a Web interface and didn't supply any context, I don't
know what you were trying to do.  I'll guess "telnet to the bpcd port."

What makes you think nothing happened?  *If* your telnet client doesn't
issue "Connected to" messages, that's exactly what I'd expect from a
successful connection to bpcd.

 # telnet 127.0.0.1 13782
 Trying 127.0.0.1...
 Connected to 127.0.0.1.
 Escape character is '^]'. 

 [ the connection is made and bpcd will wait here for commands until
timeout ]
 [ run a netstat from another window and you'd see: ]
 # netstat -an|grep 127.0.0.1.13782
 127.0.0.1.38058      127.0.0.1.13782      49152      0 49152      0
ESTABLISHED
 127.0.0.1.13782      127.0.0.1.38058      49152      0 49152      0
ESTABLISHED
 #

 [ bpcd drops the connection on receipt of a carriage return ]
 Connection to 127.0.0.1 closed by foreign host.
 #
 [ run another netstat and see: ]
 # netstat -an|grep 127.0.0.1.13782
 127.0.0.1.13782      127.0.0.1.38058      49152      0 49152      0
TIME_WAIT
 #

 [ run another netstat after the time_wait interval and see: ]
 # netstat -an|grep 127.0.0.1.13782
