Hi Hou, I am a Ms, not a Sir. When I use the config from Caslow's book I can do a reverse telnet by simply entering r1 thru r8 the 1st time. Then you do a "ctrl, shift, ^, then x" to return to the termserver. After that you only have to enter the session # (i.e. 1 for r1, 2 for r2, etc..). However, I did erase my config from the terminal server (2509) and loaded the config that you indicated in your note. However when I tried the following, I got the following error. termserver#telnet 127.0.0.1 2001 % Invalid IP address Maybe there is a step missing. I know there is usually more than one way to do something and I am certainly always open to learn another way. -----Original Message----- From: Hou Li [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 12, 2000 12:56 AM To: 'Westmoreland, Alexis' Subject: ΄πΈ΄: 2509 Terminal Server Dear Sir, The 'loopback' interface and 'ip host' command is only to make config easy.
