Just a note...very, very few ISP's offer telnet access anymore. I know we cut our users off a few years back; one account (out of some 300 at the time, we have nearly 700 now) got got hacked or given out (we were never able to determine which) and we proceeded to get rather nastily compromised. Took us about 2 weeks to clear everything up. Now the only thing our users can do if the telnet in is change their password. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
