Use SSH instead, it's pretty much the encrypted counterpart of Telnet. SSH is in the portcollection, I would recommend going with ssh or Openssh, not ssh2 since I've heard a lot of bad things about it. You probably want to add the user to the group wheel so he can use su and or install sudo to make his life even easier. If you go with ssh you shouldn't have to do anything with the unixbox as long as you have connectivity to the Internet. > I am sorry, I am just a novice at Unix (unfortunately), but dealing with > PC's since 1984.
