While 'nc' isn't exactly feature-filled, you're not able to *use* any telnet features with things that aren't telnet servers anyway, so you really aren't losing anything. (Admittedly, I've done the same thing... it's habit, and habits die hard. This is one worth breaking, though; 'nc' should exit with a ^D, which Konsole won't eat. Or had better not, because that would be a serious bug if it did.) -- Matthew -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
