Hello!
The problem is that putty isn't possible to use with jaws.
Or is it?

Subject: Re: accessing my linux box via telnet
Hi,
You should perhaps use ssh in place of telnet.
From another unix type mnachine you would do:
ssh root@yourbox
where yourbox can be its name or ip address,
and it should ask you for the root password on your box and you are in
business.
For windows there is an ssh client program called putty.
I had some problems using telnet on more modern linux machines related to
the utf8 character set.
Telnet is also not secure.
Depending on your distro, getting a telnet server running would differ.
If you cannot use ssh due to some reason, you sould need to start a telnet
server on the box you want to access and then sign on as a normal user.
By default you would not be able to telnet in as root.
Regards, Willem
