http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ (hmm, I appear to have that memorized - I end up grabbing it any time I'm at a public Windows-based Internet terminal). For what it's worth, I discovered entirely by accident that if you install telnetd-ssl then the telnet client in Windows 98 and above will connect to it and seamlessly do SSL negotiation, while of course non-SSL-capable telnet clients will still be able to connect insecurely. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
