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.
