after writing telnet address[port] and so on -
at the command line type:
user [your username] [enter]
you may get the prompt: password:
if not, type:
password [your password] [enter]
you may also get a message like: Welcome [user] and then be asked
for your password.
You may need to experiment a bit.
I guess different telnet access to different hosts will give
different dialogues. And different telnet clients may give diffferent
responses.
e.g. I have also found that at least one of my ISPs has
a time limit on telnet log-in to my mailbox, and I have never been quick
enough to get in.

Ron
