This doesn't directly answer your question, but Colin recently revealed that putty exists on debian, so ... that's one work-around. You can also use plink, the command-line tool, which can use putty's profiles. Something like plink @hostname should work (assuming hostname is a profile that you've defined in putty). -- monique -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
