They make it read. Stop concerning yourself with wether or not you can see the messages; you can see the messages and they are in a log file. You can read the logs. If you can't telnet in then either the networking has crashed or the system is under load or someone has disabled telnet and ssh a rare thing to have happen. Surely one of the other admins at the console can fix the problem or you can dial in on a remote modem and fix the networking that's what I do. Stop worrying about the job you don't have. When the time comes you'll either sink or swim depending on your ability to learn and absorb information. If you swim; well and good; If you sink; I'll probably hear the glub glub glub noises from here. You can't completely prepare yourself for any situation, remember 90% of your learning occurrs outside your comfort zone. Regards, Kerry.
