Telnet with a Windows 2003 server

I certainly can not recommend this because I haven't done any
significant work using it but I have manually started a Windows 2003
Server telnet service, connected using the command line telnet client of
an XP Pro system and run filePro. The function keys do work in all
instances where I tried them. It may be that the function keys only work
in the MS telnet client when connected to a 2003 telnet service.  Anzio
offers so much other useful functionality that, other than for testing
purposes, I don't use any other Windows telnet/ssh client.
