Hello Bernie, welcome to the list. If you could try to delete as much as possible of the other person's reply before you post your responses in a thread that would be very helpful. Also posting replies after the quoted text helps comprehension and readability. Telnet is a way to open a command line interface on a remote computer, usually running a form of Unix. When you have logged it to the machine using telnet it works as if you were operating it directly. Most Mac users don't need to know about Telnet (or SSH, the more secure version) as it is beyond what they need to do. To log into a POP email server using telnet, you can follow these instructions: <http://www.uklinux.net/support/#mailproblems> It is a little unfriendly but works very well. Check with your ISP or email hosting provider that they don't mind you doing this, as apparently some can get quite upset. You have come to the right place for advice on upgrades. Hope this helps George. -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
