Telnet with a Windows 2003 server

[John Esak]

In a word. Yes. Having a good 2003/server/client pair for telnet would be
great.

On another note.  Does anyone remember the Win95/98 Solitaire game... this
was the single reason I was able to get my mother into using computers. Once
she got this game under her control I couldn't stop her for 10 years. After
my father died, the computer gave her great companionship for that decade.
(She was highly competitive. Anyway, she got bored with Solitaire almost
immediately, so I got her Backgammon. It was one of the only other games
available for Windows at that time. :-)  She actually thought the Backgammon
game was *cheating*. So I called the manufacturer to ask them how it worked
and convince her it wasn't. The Help/About for Backgammon said "Backgammon
by George".  Could George Software be the same guy I talked to?  Just
curious. Don't want to change the topic of this thread. If anyone knows...
answer with a different subject line.
