Scumbria, Re: I am forced to use this every day. There is an "rsh" hack available for NT which takes advantage of a security hole in the OS That is not the 'telnet' equivalent for NT. Today, people use either Citrix WinFrame/MetaFrame or Microsoft's Terminal Server. That is closer to the 'telnet' experience of UNIX. Gary

Re: "I am forced to use this every day. There is an "rsh" hack available for NT which takes advantage of a security hole in the OS. It is very unstable and does not allow you to remotely kill processes, pop up windows, etc. It is not an acceptable alternative for a real operating system." I agree. For Unix users who are used to the effortless use of multiple machines and seamless display on different terminals, it is very frustrating to use an NT environment and I really don't understand why Microsoft lets this serious limitation continue. It cannot be considered useful in an engineering environment under these conditions. EP
