You should BR use something like netcat (nc) since telnet attempts to negotiate BR terminal settings and therefore sends a bunch of extraneous info BR across the line.

Yea unfortunately I have a lot of Cisco equipment that doesn't have enough flash space to upgrade to the newer SSH-able versions of IOS. But all of that equipment has direct serial connections to another machine and doesn't allow 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
