Thanks, I'll do that.  It will be a while before I can work on it.  I'm
currently at work (I telnet in and read my e-mail).  After work I have to
go elsewhere for a few hours.

Before anyone says anything, yes I know that telnet is insecure.  If you
try to telnet into my server, you will be denied.  I have a hole open to
only the IP address that is used by the work telnet proxy.
