you know what, bit of observation lang. the only time ssh will become truly mainstream is when all operating systems ship an ssh client by default. just like telnet and ftp. --vince.

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.
