Thanks for the answers. Now I have another question: I have an account at "linuxfreemail.com" where I can log in with Telnet and run PINE in Telnet session. I cannot log in there by using SSH, no matter whatever command line parameters I use. Remote host closes the connection before the password prompt appears. I can log in to my Unix shell account at "sdf.lonestar.org" by using SSHDOS and I can do anything I know how to do on the site. Once I am into "sdf.lonestar.org" I can use that site's own Telnet client to log onto "linuxfreemail.com" from there. When I use that site's Telnet client it appears to perform an SSH type of login because only the password prompt appears. If it can perform what is apparently an SSH type of login from "sdf.lonestar.org", even though I am using that site's own Telnet client, why can I not perform an SSH login to "linuxfreemail.com" directly from my local PC?
