Well: andre@kahless:~>uname -rs BSD/OS 3.1 andre@kahless:~>telnet nw_milano.bgsdarcy.it 25 nw_milano.bgsdarcy.it: Unknown server error andre@akademie3000:~>uname -rs FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE andre@akademie3000:~>telnet nw_milano.bgsdarcy.it 25 nw_milano.bgsdarcy.it: Unknown host I am sure there is something wrong with the hostname...
