I'm not sure exactly what support I need from a telnet client, but I need a new client beyond the support BASH provides (perferably something that can run from the command line though).

That is to say, I am accessing a telnet server which does not work under WindowsXP Telnet (CMD->telnet) and it does not work under BASH, but it works under HyperTerminal and Tere Term, so I need some Linux equivalent to them.

Actually, I am using CentOS4 (RHEL4 Clone), is there some graphical front end to yum on CentOS i can use to browse the repository? It would be nice to use such a feature to figure out if any other telnet client are in there.

(oh it works under putty in telnet mode as well)

.

It is adviseable to use ssh instead..........

SSH for Windows can be found here; http://beatys1.mscd.edu/~csi/MSSH/index.html

Please get the "For users of Cygwin OpenSSH" version along with the latest version of Cygwin from following the link.

Graphical frontends to yum include gnome-yum, yumi, yumex and kyum (my perfered choice).

kyum source; http://sourceforge.net/projects/kyum

As root try building typing something like;

rpmbuild --rebuild --recompile kyum-0.7.5-0.src.rpm

.

I agree, but the server I am logging into ONLY supports telnet. But imma make an ssh tunnel to wrap it up in.

Thnx I'll try kyum!
