RE: MIDRANGE-L digest, Vol 1 #2891 - 11 msgs

David:

I'm not sure I understand the issue. You want Telnet functionality to client 
sites that don't allow Telnet from the outside world? If they're willing to 
allow (basically the same as) Telnet through port 80, then why is Telnet closed 
on port 23? It seems to me that this would simply open a hole that the client 
wants closed.

Maybe best would simply be Telnet to maybe a dialup modem line via PPP, etc. 
Relatively easy, simple and cheap.
