Actually using telnet for that is not the greatest idea. You should use something like netcat (nc) since telnet attempts to negotiate terminal settings and therefore sends a bunch of extraneous info across the line. Most protocols are tollerent of this but not all. netcat never does this, is an all around more flexible tool than telnet. -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty and democracy? - Ghandi
