Don't use telnet -- it sends your password and all data in clear text across the network. Any idiot with a packet sniffer will know everything you transmit. Instead use ssh. 'apt-get install ssh' on the server, and get a client for the client (same package if it is a Debian box, PuTTY is a good win32 client). It should work out-of-the-box like that. HTH, -D
