Thats funny you mentioned that about MSU, because my brother was telling me he use to have to do that. I am not comfortable using telnet because of the security risk, I feel everyone has access to everbody elses material.

I have used telnet to send files to BCBSM in the past. We used this when doing our claims before they switched to the EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) version. Also, when I first started working at MSU, in order to get to our personal MSU email account, you would have to telnet into the program. This is no longer the case because it's now available via the web. I too learned of some chatting by going to this website, http://www.telnet.org/htm/places.htm. ~Mallory Crowner __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
