Once again, I'm going to sound the warning and ask you to stop using Telnet forever. Download PuTTY (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/) and install it on your Windows boxes. Activate the SSH server on your Linux boxes and log on to them using PuTTY. Here goes my usual spiel: telnet is a big liability and a relic of a time when the Internet was a research network where everyone could be trusted to play nice. This applies even on a private network, because insecure habits are hard to break and you can wind up doing these very same things when you wind up on dangerous public networks. -- Rafael R.
