Hello Edmond, Having a telnet session over Linux towards a Windows workstation is pretty straightforward. However, it will require you to enable some services in your Windows workstation in order for this to work. I am assuming you are using Windows XP either SP1 or SP2?
To enable Telnet on Windows XP (this run Windows Telnet), you will need to open up port 23 in the Windows Firewall and enable the Telnet Service in Administrative Tools. Should you want to support Unix services on your Windows box, it will be prudent to add/install Windows Services for Unix 3.5. If I'm not mistaken this can be added as a Windows component. Windows Services for Unix 3.5 provides on top of Windows a set of Unix services like: - NFS server - NIS server - Mapper (portmapper ??) - PCNFS Server - Telnet Server (the Unix variant) - Password Synchronization - Remote Shell (RSH) - Services for Unix Administration tools - Interix daemons SSH is a much more secure option than using Telnet though. There are Windows-based SSH servers out there. freeSSHd (http://www.freesshd.com/) is an example. OpenSSH can be installed on top of Windows however, this will be running via Cygwin.
