Post #135,970 by deSitter 1/15/04 7:35:32 PM Reply	? how can a telnet server be "slow"? You mean latency with keyboard actions? I did notice that IIRC, but it wasn't "unusable". -drl

If you ain't using "Windows Telnet" (piece of crap), the speed-ups they built into it (telnet) do not work. Same type of things they do for IE and IIS. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* "Lately, The only thing keeping me from being a Serial Killer is my distaste for manual labor." -- Dilbert Calendar, January 4, 2004

The reason you don't install Linux... is because you can't. Production machine are not sunk costs, you have to protect the investment value. You can not just yank a machine that has a Windows Product on it and put in a Linux machine. But, you could get away with Cygwin quite easily. It is typically smaller than Office. Will give you a "Real Code/Text Editor" too. Cygwin being so Divorced is about as divorced as things get on UNIX. One but Separate, Seperate but as one. Personally, I think it gives you tools to do your job (more) easily. Best part is... They don't run in Ring Zero. SFU, is just a Lazy(easy as in not fighting for it) way to get some NIX functionality. Hell, Barry install both... see which one you end up using more. I know Cygwin ain't easy to justify, but the ability to install it AND* get rid of it without "rebooting" has got to be very convincing. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* "Lately, The only thing keeping me from being a Serial Killer is my distaste for manual labor." -- Dilbert Calendar, January 4, 2004
