I use SimpTerm > on occasion and it seems to work well enough. i dislike MS as much as anyone, but i wouldn't call a windowed telnet "simple" ;) write one ;) especially without the support of the UN*X environment. i like my W98beta3 telnet compared to the crap i used to use with W31, and from what i understand, MS's networking is based on BSD code (they get what they can for free too ;) ... what REALLY sucks, and sucks BAD, is their utilities. i don't remember their exact names, but whatever their forms of nslookup, traceroute, ping, etc, are.
