A po' man's solution would utilize forwarding. It would add a layer of complexity (keeping the tunnel up between the machines), but may solve your problem rather simply until SSH support is added. ssh -L 6666:remote.machine.com:23 -l username remote.machine.com would open the SSH session that will forward the traffic. telnet 127.0.0.1 6666 Will connect to the remote machine. Be warned however, this may not solve your problem, if there isn't a telnet daemon at all... but most sysadmins would be willing to work with you in this matter. It would still meet most security requirements if telnet is only listening on the loopback interface. /W -- /* * Wesley Wannemacher * OSS Tools * America Online * * [EMAIL PROTECTED] * GnuPG Public Key: http://slashdot.org/~wawannem/pubkey */ Life is divided into the horrible and the miserable. -- Woody Allen, "Annie Hall"
