Even if some providers (such as Satyam iWay) have tried to block all except web access (likely by restricting access to the telnet binary) you can just fire up your browser and do telnet://m-net.arbornet.org (say). Then enjoy life using win9x's crappy (and win2k's slightly less crappy) telnet client. That said, popping the mail down and typing on localhost is fairly safe (though there are two things - don't forget to erase your settings and your mails when you use the cybercafe comp's outlook to send mails, and two - run a virus scan as far as possible before you try to config settings ... or you'll find out that you are pumping out sircam to everyone in your inbox ..) -srs -- Suresh Ramasubramanian <----> mallet <at> efn dot org EMail Sturmbannfuhrer, Lower Middle Class Unix Sysadmin [Linux One Stanza Tip] From : <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> LOST #005 -**< Sub : Copying from Linux to Win partition >**- Method 1: To copy a file from Linux to a Windows partition #mkdir /mnt/dos-c (if mount point does not exist) #mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/dos-c #cp /path/filename /mnt/dos-c/path/ #umount /mnt/dos-c _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
