It is antiquated and insecure. I have software on my machine which can twist the ends of a telnet connection so that they are desynchronized and then my machine becomes the glue that holds the connection together and I have a chance to snarf all the communications and make tasteful changes as well. ssh is much more secure and already loaded by default. To connect, ssh username@mymachine,mydomain.com on the client side and everything is encrypted. Otherwise you are on the machine just like a telnet connection once your password is validated. If you absolutely must have telnet, the server and client are on your install CDs, just not loaded by default. CIvileme QA Team > Thanks... > > Alan
