When I try to telnet to a solaris 2.7 E250 I
get the following error,
"telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused"
If I try it again or a third time I am able to
connect to it.

Any ideas?

"Connection refused" means that the telnet server wasn't running. Maybe
the machine was in the middle of rebooting, and your first try was before
the telnet daemon had started.

I've seen this same behavior when telnetting to one of my isp's machines.
ECONNREFUSED initially and a second later, connect() succeeds. Obviously,
this could be caused by someone recycling inetd. (I'd have to check
ps aux to confirm this.) This is over a ppp link with no proxies.
