I'm glads it works.  Did you pick up the additional SSH support for Tera 
Term?  It works great too and I find it a complete replacement for 
telnet.  Just grab the zlib, openssl, and openssh RPMs from Germany or 
somewhere and you'll have encrypted sessions running in five minutes.  As 
an added bonus you can (using the default config, and I know some may see 
this as risky) log in as root directly to run Linuxconf.

Also, it bears repeating:  Jason is exactly right about the Windows telnet 
client; it is the worse junk imaginable, just really awful.  It gave me 
nothing but trouble.
