And along those lines, I will say (quite emphatically) that I much prefer the console telnet in WinNT over the gui applet in win9x. The console is better hands down every time. The only possible benefit I can see to the gui is that you don't have to type in the connection info every time. Given that you are essentially working at a console in the app, I just don't understand why a console app to do this is any big deal. I can understand the value of gui with ftp though. ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk@1tree.net "When I take action, I'm not going to fire a $2 million missle at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt.
