Calum:
i tend to agree, think of the damage people could do if everybody had free reign on public systems like schools!
while you may not like it, it is sensible, and also fair.
I reckon that if you are in your own time and can get supervision then fine, to show people yr site et c, but otherwise it is too dodgy.
PS this is my first post using lynx! also, i am telnetting into my shell account and using their lynx, so it's a double whammy first for me! (still not got my crappy modem to work though, so using windows :( )

Calum, you should use "ssh" rather than "telnet" if at all possible. ssh is encrypted and is much more functional (awesome is more like it, especially if you use it for port forwarding etc). If you have to access your machine from a Win* machine go to http://www.openssh.org where you will find lots of ssh and scp clients (I like "putty", "pscp" etc, although I find it rare anymore that I have to use the Win* versions as I run Linux nearly exclusively at work and at home).
psyjax:
I love ssh :D
I discoverd it when one of my annoying friends was pestering me to teach him some of the commands you could give to the Darwin consol. He wanted to try an PING one of his friends offline on another computer (ya he's childish like that) and while looking for remote commands, I discoverd ssh.
Now all my friends have accounts on my computer, and I on theirs. I keep a Terminal window open so they can "write" me and I can monitor their activity.
It's great stuff that ssh
voidmain:
Another nice thing about ssh is it will automatically forward your X11 ports (if you have it configured to do so). What this means is if you "ssh" into a remote machine you can run X apps and display them on your local X server, even through a firewall.
