Dick, I installed Cygwin on the target system and added a SSHD server. So the client does an SSH to this server, which then does port forwarding (tunneling) to the jBASE telnet server. This might seem like cumbersome solution, having a Linux implementation sitting on top of Windows just for one service. But it's actually very easy to install (to my surprise and relief), the overhead is minimal, and over time you may find having Linux functionality in Windows to be quite refreshing - sort of like having Pick commands from the Windows command like with jBase compared to other Pick platforms. (Sorry Jim)
Install Cygwin with OpenSSH, OpenSSL, and inetutils. Google for these phrases to get info: ssh port forwarding cygwin ssh port forwarding linux ssh tunnel install cygwin mobaxterm << this is a pre-packaged "distro" with Cygwin and SSH, look for others The above method does not require anything special on the client other than switching from telnet to SSH of course. If you're using a telnet client and don't want to change to SSH for some reason, Google: windows ssh tunnel client You can install software in Windows which accepts connections on port X and sends them to another server on port Y - with or without encryption. I used this to accept a localhost telnet connection on port 23 from the client, pass the request over SSH to a remote server, and then as above re-route to a telnet server. The result is securing the internet connection while still doing a local insecure telnet. Frankly it's been a long time since I did this and I'm embarrassed to say I don't have detailed notes on specific software or settings - but over time new software and docs turn up on the web, so you probably wouldn't want my old notes anyway.
