It's something that we are working on (a complete rewrite of the telnet client), which is about a 10,000% speed increase. RSH and SSH would be way faster just because it's a single command line with certain assumptions (that there is a RSH/SSH service waiting to receive the command). - Shawn ------------------------------- Shawn D.
