It's a shame we have to resort to hiding behind a user tag.

Yes, and you certainly don't need to know it.

Nice reply, I was only trying to be social. But I guess
that's out these days. Maybe I should change mine to
something like Xray or something else.

This has lost my interest...

Close thread!

KenUnix,

The forums except for General are basically to help the original poster (OP) solve their problem(s) and not for idle chit chat between members. Until the OP replies we do not know and may never know what they actually trying to accomplish.

You are absolutely right. The more anonymus people are, the more verbal abuse is rampant.

And please, moderator, don't remove my post. I hope that Ken will stay on.

Sorry, but have to point out that sharing personal information with random people on the Internet isn't too bright of an idea.

To stay on topic, the entire point of this thread was for the OP to install an SSH client; the advice to use telnet is horribly bad. SSH isn't 'fancy', despite what post #10 says, and the reasons to not use it were clarified in post #11. This was to inform anyone who came across this thread (and didn't know better), the reasons to not use telnet. Yet explaining things is apparently a 'lecture', and brought out poor woe-is-me response about sitting in a rocking chair, rather than being objective about the actual TOPIC and the reasoning. So no...not too inclined to share anything of any nature with such posters.
