My home is in Telford , England, I work in Gothenburg in Sweden, but to get to my machine at home I have to use telnet , via a back door telnet proxy server in Stockholm. This company has one hell of a tight firewall. But of course I must be stupid like the rest, ! It a matter of choice which protocol you use, it has nothing to do with stupidity or security. regards Richard -- Richard Bown Ericsson Microwave Systems AB SE-431 84 M�lndal e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] tel +46 31 74 72422 mobile +46 7098 72422
