Please show me how to use ssh to connect to a SMTP, POP3, or HTTP server. =) Seriously, the telnet client has it's uses.. it's the telnet server that should be abolished. Those with restrictive firewalls really don't have an excuse... they can setup thier home ssh to listen to the telnet port and use ssh to connect through the telnet port to their home system. Same as it you were using telnet. You just need to be a little creative. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED], OpenPGP key available on www.keyserver.net 1024D/FE6F2AFD 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD - Danen Consulting Services www.danen.net, www.freezer-burn.org - MandrakeSoft, Inc.
