Hi Montroze

Well, for a long time instead of Telnet I've used
PuTTY - have you tried it? Brilliant little app: quick, neat and works on any Windows platform. It's also FAR more secure than Telnet. I'm not 100% certain unfortunately but I'm pretty sure it
should work if you have Telnet access to a server.
Plugging PCTechGuide shamelessly (of course!) here's some info on
accessing your server with PuTTY.
